Troubleshooting

PERSONAL INJURY

•Allow only trained personnel to operate disposer.

•Use baffles and guarding to avoid splashing and ejection of materials.

•Do not put fingers or hands into the disposer.

•When attempting to remove objects from a disposer, use long-handled tongs or pliers.

•Turn power off before clearing a jam, removing an object from the disposer or pressing the red reset button.

This control center was inspected and tested under operating conditions before shipment from the factory. In case of trouble, check the items listed below.

A.Disposer motor will not start and water does not flow.

1.No incoming line power, turn line power on.

2.Electric disconnect switch is not ON. Turn electric disconnect to ON position.

3.Electrical disconnect switch has been reactivated and 30-second delay has not yet expired. Wait 30 seconds and try starting again.

4.Control circuit fuse FNA2 is blown. Replace fuse.

PROPERTY DAMAGE

Use only an FNA2 replacement fuse. Using another replacement fuse will result in product damage.

B.Disposer motor stops while grinding but water continues to flow.

1.Control center wired for automatic shut-off. Press start button. If disposer runs for 10 minutes then shuts off, the automatic shutoff is active. If the manual setting is desired, change as indicated in the feature section.

2.Disposer is jammed. Press stop button and follow directions for unjamming that were supplied with the disposer.

3.Disposer motor overload protector has tripped. Follow instruction in C1.

C.Disposer will not start but water flows.

1.Overload protector on the disposer may have tripped. Press stop button. Locate red reset button on front of disposer electrical cover. Press to reset. If motor had been running, wait five minutes for the motor and overload to cool down before starting.

2.Disposer is jammed. Press stop button and follow directions for unjamming that were supplied with the disposer.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK/PROPERTY DAMAGE

•Troubleshooting other than what is recommended in this section should only be performed by qualified service personnel.

•Further troubleshooting performed by untrained personnel could result in electric shock or damage to the control center.

•All electrical checks must be performed by a qualified professional.

D.Water flows constantly before start button is pushed.

1.Water solenoid valve is installed backward. Water flow should be in the direction of the arrow on valve.

E.Water flow does not decease to 1 GPM.

1.Incorrect solenoid valve combination connections. See Water Solenoid Valve, page 7.

2.Incorrect trip point adjustment. See Current Sensing Control Setup, page 8.

3.Food load is present in disposer.

F.Water flow does not increase.

1.Insufficient food load is present.

2.Incorrect trip point. See Current Sensing Control Setup, page 8.

3.Solenoid valve wiring incorrect in panel.

4.More than two water solenoids wired into system. System should have one solenoid with a 1 GPM flow control and one solenoid with a 7 GPM flow control.

NOTE: Use shutoff valves to adjust water flow for multiple trough or sink nozzles.

G.Overload trips frequently.

1.Do not overload disposer with excess amounts of garbage and water (see disposer instructions for recommended water flows).
