Troubleshooting

If the following problems occur, perform the below checks and correct the problem.

Before contacting your dealer, service, or replacing the disposer, we recommend that you perform the following checks listed first.

This will save you any unnecessary service costs that are not covered by the free warranty for commissioning an otherwise functional device.

In the event that the disposer has stopped working or behaves abnormally, it may be a reaction of the protective fuse to in case of a jam, overload

or some other condition that can be used to identify the cause and simply repair the disposer and get it working again.

Always disconnect the disposer from the mains power supply before placing hands or other tools into the grinding chamber!

The waste disposer may start unexpectedly and cause serious injury.

Pull and turn

When attaching the air tube, do not press the air button at the same time.

JAMMED OBJECT IN GRINDING CHAMBER / TURNTABLE WILL NOT TURN / DISPOSER
WILL NOT RUN

A spoon or a metal bottle cap may fall into the disposer and jam at the edge of the turntable. Remove the

rubber splash guard and look into the grinding chamber. Usually you can remove the jammed object with your

hand or with long pliers.

The cause of the jam may not always be obvious, but it may be a shard of bone or a small pip from previous

grinding, which will prevent the disposer from running when turned ON.

Always check whether the turntable can rotate freely within the grinding chamber. If the turntable is blocked,

insert a large wooden spoon or a long screw driver against one of the protrusions and try to turn the turntable

counter-clockwise (Fig. 2). It is necessary to rotate the entire turntable, not just the blades on the pins.

Sometimes you need to apply more force to dislodge the foreign object.

Once the turntable rotates freely, put back the rubber splash guard and press the fuse reset button at the front

of the disposer (Fig. 1).

Note:

Resetting the thermal fuse without removing the cause of the blockage will only cause the motor

to hum for a while and then the fuse reset button will pop out again. If the fuse is reactivated and the blockage

removed, the button will click and remain in the pushed-in position. Sometimes it may be necessary to let the

fuse cool down for a few minutes before trying to reset it.

AIR BUTTON IS NOT WORKING

To avoid air button problems, using a finger with the air tube removed, block the outlet of the air button, press

the air button, you must feel pressure and the button should be hard to press. (If the rubber ball inside of the

air button has a rupture when pressed, the air will escape through the rupture. In this case replace the

air button with a new one).

If the air button is getting stuck, it is clogged with dirt, disassemble the air button and clean the parts (Fig. 3).

NOISY / VIBRATIONS

(Disregard the operating noise that the disposer makes during grinding of bones or pellets of fruit). A strong metal noise is usually caused

by a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign object that has accidentally fallen into the disposer.

Shut down the disposer and stop the water. Pull out the splash guard and remove any foreign objects from inside the disposer grinding chamber.
Put the splash guard back into place. Increased noise from the grinding chamber can be caused by an old splash guard if its individual elastic
blades get loose and do not return to their original closed position. Replace the splash guard with a new one.
Unpleasant vibrations along with increased noise can cause an unbalanced rotation when one of the swinging blades of the grinding turntable

plate gets stuck on the pin. There was a rubber band, a string or other deposits under the blade. Remove the cause of the blockage and that the

blade moves freely on its pin by moving it back and forth.

WATER SPLASHES INTO THE SINK

Check the condition of the removable splash guard which should prevent water from splashing back into the sink. If the flexible blades do not
return to their original closed position or are damaged, replace the splash guard with a new one.
Check that the disposers waste pipes are correctly connected, see the chapter „

Typical waste pipe connection“.

POOR SINK DRAINAGE

This may be caused by clogging of the siphon trap or drain pipe. This may be due to poor grinding either without water or insufficient water flow.
If the pipe is clogged shortly after installation, it is usually caused by loosening of old deposits that will dislodge with the disposers water pressure.
Try filling the sink with water to the edge, remove the plug and splash guard and turn on the disposer. The water column pressure together with the
running disposer can clear the drain pipe. If you have not been successful, use a plunger or have the pipes professionally cleaned.
When draining the dishwasher or washing machine through the disposer, the sink is filled with waste water. Check the grinding chamber for

DISPOSER WILL NOT TURN ON / DOES NOT WORK

Check the power supply to the disposer, main circuit breaker and whether the mains power cable is properly

connected to the power socket.
Verify that the disposer fuse has not been tripped due to a motor overload. Push the fuse reset button (Fig. 1)

to reset the fuse. When using the air button, check its functionality. Press the button several times, a weak

click must be heard on each press coming from the air switch mechanism located at the bottom of the
disposer (we recommend opening the sink cabinet door). Check the connection of the air tube at both ends
between the air button and the air switch at the bottom of the disposer. The air tube may have fallen out.
