Badger 900 Garbage Disposal Leaking

Put the paper under the sink.

Badger 900 garbage disposal leaking. It looks like it is coming from a pre existing hole of some kind like a vent or something. It has a slow leak underneath it right near a small white hole. Turn the garbage disposal off completely and unplug the unit. If confirmed your garbage disposal may need service.

Hi guys im currently fighting cancer im going to be out of work for atleast 5 months the financial burden is immense. Step 4 test for leaks by running the water in the sink and turning on the badger 1. I have a badger 5 1 2 hp disposal. Put a stopper on the mouth of the disposal and fill the sink.

Is it leaking through the container body. Find the source of the leak using a piece of newspaper. Take a bottle of food coloring the brighter the better and place a few drops in the sink of water. Place a bag a small garbage can or a bucket underneath the sink to collect any leaking water.

Replace a faulty seal. Turn on the water and fill up the sink a little less than half full. Wrap the leaking tube connection location on the badger 1 with plumber s tape then reconnect the tubes to the disposal. Where can i find online instructions to uninstall and then reinstall my badger 900 garbage disposal it is leaking where it is attached to the sink.

Not sure what the hole is. As you can see it comes with an array of great featu. If it s leaking through the wall of the container body confirm it s not leaking from the top of the garbage disposal at the mounting assembly and dripping down through the wall. Like other models in the insinkerator badger series it is a functional and reliable choice when your primary concern is affordability.

Ask your own home improvement question. If you would like to help my family. It is a decent consistent drip. If the newspaper gets wet the sink drain is.
