my rubber flap is worn out so when I use the disposal everything squirts out. the flap that you find as you put things in. I hope I explained it righ

you can go to Lowes on line and get a Danco disposal genie. $9.99That will eliminate your problem without having to remove your disposal and replacing the part

I'm sure there's a replacement 'flap' as it is removable. Google search "waste king 9950 replacement parts" or call a local dealer. That's what I would do. Mine works great and the flap is still good. I remove it to thoroughly clean it about once a month and it's been just fine.

I would think you could find just the "flap" and not have to replace the whole disposal

Call them and ask for a replacement. IIRC the unit, like most if not all, is a twist-off. Should be easy (for a guy or an adept woman) to swap out).

Try unscrewing it and make sure it's not clogged, I've not had this problem, so I hope this works for you. My daughter loves this stuff.

I would first think that you have a defective flap. But, you say flaps...don't think both flaps would be bad. Make sure you install it in a square opening. If out of square then flap wouldn't shut proper.

I dont think it is normal, but i hear this particular item has this flaw compared to other models. I started to double check the rubber ring and the lid for any food debris left, and normally the leaking didnt happen. Hope you try that.

Keep the top on when not in use, and place a paperclip(Opened up to fit in)inside the hole. When you go to use it again, when you pull out the paperclip it will flow again. Good Luck!

we've had the same issue on rare occassion. I have no idea why it is leaking and we have also checked it, cleaned it, etc. it seems to be more of an issue when it is overly full.

Could be mineral buildup. It happened to mine along the seams at the bottom, but it took took two years rather than two months for it to happen. You might have particularly hard water. We have one of those filters at the sink, so the water is less mineral laden. You'll have to get a cleaning kit from Simplex since just about every other product on the market messes with the tin. I wasn't happy about paying an additional $40, but Simplex customer service told me I'd get more than 20 cleanses out of it. And it worked like a charm.

That's not normal. You could have a slow leak from your tank to the bowl which triggers the valve to refill. An easy test is to get some dye (such as a dye capsule) and see if dye appears in the bowl. If so you may need to replace the flapper.

Btw, same thing happened to me. It means that your filling it too full and this isn't designed to do that much work. Plastic parts ya know.

I do not have that in mine! It could be defective,but if it holds water and there is no leak,and the place is not thin then I would not worry about it.IT hope this helps!!

I assume the black thingy you are referring to is the rubber gasket between the disposal and the flange that also partially covers the drain opening. It can be replaced if it wears out (you can buy an insinkerator brand gasket from HomeDepot), but you need to unhook the disposal from the drain to do it. It is not a "quick release" type.

Mine tends to leak when full and the indicator shows full until it's actually empty. Therefore, I put in a few squirts from a bulk soap bottle and try not to get more than about half full. However, after that, it's a long time until I have to put more in. Otherwise, it works fine.

Using rubber gaskets on the pipe, it slides into the hole of the disposal and a metal ring slid onto the pipe is screwed into the disposal itself for tightening. I actually didn't use the pipe provided with the disposal. I used the existing pipe from my old disposal and it worked fine. As long as you are using a standard size, I'd say you would be fine.

I agree this is an issue. Sorry, I don't have the answer. Mine does drain but is much slower than when the disposer is running. It hasn't been enough to be an problem for me.

It's not likely the fault of the fluid master. I would suspect it is just reacting, as it should, to a leaky flush seal where the water exits the tank during the flush. It may not be sealing off tightly and, thus, permitting a slow leakage of the water in the tank past it and into the bowl below. As the water level slowly drops enough to a point that the Fluidmaster decides to refill the tank, you may be hearing it refill for a few seconds. If this is determined to be the problem, then replace the flush seal rubber washer or bulb (which-either your tank has). This is done without removing the tank.

Make sure the new flapper is centered up on the edge of the flush valve so it closes. Second run your finger around this ede to see if you can feel any depressions in it. If you do then it neew to be renewed or repaired. Check that the chain is not tooo lose on the flapper and is occasionally getting caught or not letting the flapper to seat tight. The chain also could be too tight and not allow a good seal either. Good luck.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.
