If your garbage disposal is leaking out the bottom near the reset button, you most likely have a leak in the metal plate that is located directly under the blades. This plate is designed to protect the electrically powered parts of the motor (the rotor, the shaft, etc.) from moisture, but it is rather thin and is only made of galvanized steel. After a year or two, especially if you use highly acidic cleaners which you rinse down your sink, the zinc layer will corrode and expose the steel, which will then also start to corrode, until something hard eventually pokes some kind of hole through the plate somewhere (could be somewhere very small), signaling the end of the machine's service life. The plate is not meant to be repaired, only replaced along with the rest of the unit. That water is getting through to your rotor is an electrical hazard, and should be dealt with immediately (by removing the damaged unit). The manufacturer has figured out that the blades need to me made of stainless steel, but has chosen to skimp on making other interior parts of this more-expensive metal. Good luck!

Mine leaks as well - check the lid and see if the silicon ring is missing or damaged. I believe that's the cause for my leak. Still checking to see if I can replace that part...

After about 3 months, mine begin to leak & sprayed water on the back wall. Since this one of yours is new, try taking it apart & reinstalling it. If this does not work, ask Church and Dwight for a replacement one.

I've had mine for about 4 years, it now has leakage from a hole in a bottom corner. Time for a new one.

I have an Badger 5 will this fit under hook up to what is there or do I need to buy another attachment so it will?

Same drain system as usual, but never had a leak issue... Check and make sure the o ring is in good shape and push the plug in tight before reinstalling the u shaped pin...

Where is it leaking?Is the unit mounted square and level?Did you check to see if the drain tube is blocked?Is the water flow rate on to high?Are all connections tight?These are all things you should check.

ok, thanks for responses! Bought 2 units for 2 sinks and neither package has directions, and plastic washers/seals, not rubber. That was my confusion. Looked at drains at Home Depot and they all had rubber seals. Apparently thinks were changed. Thanks.

If you mean the one on the bottom where the new filters go, i put some silicon grease on them and used the wrench as they suggested and snugged it, let it sit and snugged it again. I did not want to crack the case so made sure the threads aligned correctly and then did as you read. If you mean the one on the faucet, i took out the ring with the screen at the top and put in an over size washer to stop the leak on my delta faucet.

There should be no leaking at all, the seals should be brand new and "seated" correctly. If you do have a "leak through", it is probably the seals and 1) faucet should be returnedto the place you purchased them or 2) replace the seals. Again, this should not be the problem but it does happen.

Looking at the place where the model number, etc. is, what are the first three numbers immediately after the word "Model?" They may be bolder than the rest of the numbers that follow. If they are 175, it is probably made by "In-Sink-Erator," which is made by Badger. My Waste King unit installed without any modifications to the plumbing except for minor movement of the PVC pipes, just quick partial rotations by hand. The previous unit was a Badger.

A plastic coupler...use the old one or get a new one....Hope this helps...If your existing fauset is leacking, disconnect the drain line and clean the inside..stuff from the garbage disposal can plug the drain line causing faucet to leak....

Mine did not leak, you prob already saw this but I'll say it anyway, there is a plug in the bottom of the water tub to let the water drain out, is that closed all the way? If it is I would contact the maker.

Mine installed fine on an insinkerators sold at home depot. They could check to see if the insinkerators are interchangeable wit badger and have there answer. My opinion is they are. And that would mean if I'm correct your answer would be yes. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your inquiry.Please check to make sure your plumber attached the round weight on the hose under the sink? It comes with the faucet. This could be the issue.Kind Regards,

Where is it leaking from? Make sure the filter is in place and the water basin is fitting into the base properly. Otherwise, I would return it because it sounds like you have a defective one.
