After I installed the disposer, the sink does not drain unless I am actually running the disposer. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

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.

That has nothing to do with the sink that has to do with your plumbing. Mine doesn't pool and empties readily.

Work the wrench back and forth in both directions. If the wrench will not turn easily, it is OK to use some force. Continue working with the wrench until it turns freely in complete circles in both directions. Check the overload protector. The overload protector is located under the sink, on the bottom of the disposer, facing the floor. It is a small red button. If the overload protector has tripped, you will see the red button dropped down. Press the red button. With the disposer powered OFF, check inside the grinding chamber. Look down into the disposer using a flashlight. Do not place your hand into the disposer. If you see anything in the disposer, remove it using tongs or pliers.Turn on the water, then the disposer. The disposer should now run. If the problem is rust or mineral deposits stuck on the blades, you can try a chemical like CLR Calcium Lime Rust Remover. Use it to liquify the mineral deposits and free the blades so they will spin. If the disposer continues to jam, you may need to service or replace it.

Yes. I have this sink and installed a new garbage disposal when I installed the sink. Works great!

I have never had this problem with this Drain. I would suggest making sure it is tightened down enough so that it is flush with the bottom of the bowl

I have never had an issue with water but mine are not that close to my sink. You could always add a touch of silicone to prevent water to drip down. If its that close to water make sure you install a GFI receptacle to plug it into.

No, it should fully drain away. Perhaps there is something wrong with the connection, or the pipe is blocked?

I had one of these installed last fall and it works beautifully. Not sure why the drain is where it is but there is no problem with water draining properly. I had my faucet installed on the right side of the sink so this configuration works well for me.

Ihave had my sink since april and i love it...no scrathes or problems..i just wash it out with soap and water....i do not have a garbage disposal with this sink because we compost here in seattle and it is not needed and took up too much space under the sink. When i had a garbage disposal in my other double sink i put it in the smaller sink and wouldn't know why you would put it under the larger...the small sink worked great. I am really happy with my new sink

Not anymore than with other sinks. I changed my countertop as well and the countertop installers were able to install the sink and hook it up to exiting disposer. Love the sinK by the way, especially since I save a small fortune!

I would say that you may not have the continuous drain hose installed correctly or else you may have a defective unit. Mine has had a hose on it right from the start and it has worked perfectly now for most of a year. Good luck!

I have the dehumidifier- hooked up hose to back threads and put in drain (but its above in sink) does this need to be drained in ground as it is not draining & is there something I need to turn on/ off to use continuous draining? TY in advance!

In addition to what the others have stated I would add that the space between your sink and the bottom of the drainer would not allow air to flow and is also uncomfortably close to sink's surface. Maybe not the most sanitary option.

As there is a normal sized kitchen drain on this sink...I see no reason a garbage disposer couldn't be connected.

Looks like plenty of others have answered your question, but here's one more confirmation. We, too, installed this as a drop in sink. My husband did the installation and didn't run into any problems.
