Troubleshoot before you call

Simple safety steps and quick diagnostics

Humming with no spin

Turn off power, press the red reset button under the unit, or use an allen key in the bottom slot.

Standing water in sink

Never reach inside. Avoid chemical drain cleaners that corrode disposal blades and seals.

Leaking under the cabinet

Check the top sink flange and dishwasher inlet connection for loose clamps or failed gaskets.

Still stuck or humming loudly? Let a licensed plumber safely clear the obstruction or install a durable replacement unit.
