Your Comprehensive Guide to a Smoother Experience
If you own an Insinkerator Waste Disposal Unit, you know just how convenient it can be in your day-to-day life. But just like any other appliance, your Insinkerator may encounter some issues that need troubleshooting. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive FAQ to help you troubleshoot any issues you may experience.
Q: My Insinkerator won’t turn on. What should I do?
A: First, check to make sure it’s plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If those aren’t the issue, there could be a problem with the motor. Try pressing the reset button on the bottom of the unit and if that doesn’t work, you may need to call a professional.
Q: My Insinkerator is leaking. What could be causing this?
A: There are many potential causes of a leaky Insinkerator, including a worn-out gasket, loose screws, or a cracked housing. Check for these issues and tighten any loose screws. If the gasket is worn or the housing is cracked, it may be time to replace the unit.
Q: My Insinkerator is making a loud noise. Is this normal?
A: Insinkerator units do make some noise, but if the noise is excessive, it could be a sign of a problem. Check for any loose parts or debris inside the unit and make sure the mounting bolts are tight. If the noise persists, it may be time to call in a professional.
Q: My Insinkerator is clogged. What should I do?
A: First, turn off the unit and unplug it. Then, use pliers or tongs to remove any visible debris from the disposal. You can also try pouring hot water down the drain to help dislodge any clogs. If these methods don’t work, you may need to call a professional.
Q: Can I put anything down my Insinkerator?
A: While the Insinkerator can handle most food waste, there are some items that should never be put
down the disposal, including bones, grease and fibrous foods like celery and corn husks. These items
can damage the unit or cause clogs.
We hope this FAQ has been helpful in troubleshooting any issues you may encounter with your Insinkerator Waste Disposal Unit. Remember to always read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully and take proper safety precautions when working with any electrical appliance.
