How to fix a leak in your InSinkErator garbage disposal
Unplug the garbage disposal and check the sink flange. Make sure that flange is properly seated and sealed. Adjust or tighten the flange support ring if it's loose. If the flange support ring is tight, check the sink flange gasket for damage. Replace the sink flange gasket if it's torn or cracked.
If the garbage disposal leaks water from the discharge elbow connection, tighten the discharge elbow mounting screws. If the mounting screws are tight, check the discharge elbow rubber gasket and replace the gasket if it's damaged.
