Problem: The disposer isn't running at all.
Solution: It could be a power problem. Check the power to the circuit that feeds the disposer. If the breaker is OK, then check the power at the switch. If you have power coming to, but not leaving the switch, then the switch is bad. Turn the circuit off and replace the switch.
Problem: Is my Titan Disposer a batch feed or a continuous feed disposer?
Solution: Continuous.
Problem: Why is my splash guard loose and keeps coming out when I use my disposer?
Solution: Too much hot water directly on the splashguard will cause it to deform. Replacements available through our Mr. Scrappy Store.
Problem: My Disposer makes a clicking noise before it starts up. Is that normal?
Solution: Yes. When Stainless Steel Impellers swing into position a brief noise may occur from contact with a protrusion on the turntable. The noise should be brief not continuous.
Problem: The disposer is very noisy.
Solution: All of our disposers feature the exclusive Torque Master Grinding System with its balanced turntable and armature that help keep noise and vibration to a minimum, however, it can become really noisy if something gets in there to cause a ruckus. With the disposer unplugged, grab a flashlight and take a look down the drain and see if you notice anything that can be causing the noise. Plastic or metal items are usually the culprits.
Problem: I need to hardwire the disposer. Are there general instructions?
Solution: Yes, you can hardwire your disposer although you may wish to install an outlet instead. If you wish to hard wire the disposer, simply cut off the power plug and strip the wires. You will need to, of course, turn off the main power to the junction box holding the old wire. Open the junction box and remove the wire nuts or electrical tape or whatever is tying the old disposer wire to the electrical wire inside of the junction box. Insert the new disposer wire with the stripped ends. Tie them to the electrical wire, using wire nuts or electrical tape. Close the junction box cover.
Of course, if you install the outlet instead, you will not have to cut off the plug nor strip the wires. Another advantage of installing an outlet is that, if there enough voltage to the junction box you could install a two gang outlet. You would then wind up with an extra outlet for use with such appliances as hot water dispenser, trash compactor, etc. One more advantage is that it would be easy to remove the disposer if, for whatever reason, you needed to do so.
Disclaimer: these suggestions are assuming that you have knowledge of connecting electrical wires safely. If there is any doubt, please contact a qualified electrician.
Speed Master Installation
Problem: Why can’t I get my disposer to mount on the mounting ring? OR My Cushion mount will not allow my mounting ring to drop.
Solution:The cushion mount if installed correctly will allow your mounting ring to easily drop over it, allowing room for the projections on the disposer to fit into. Looking at the Sink flange you will see a lip below the groove at the very end of the flange.
Note: If the cushion mount is installed correctly the lip at the end of the flange will be fitted into the groove, in the cushion mount. Examples below.
Position Your Support Ring BEFORE the Cushion Mount.
The rim (edge) of the flange fits perfectly within the groove of the Cushion Mount creating a flush appearance. Apply pressure with your thumbs around the rest of the cushion to attach completely . This shows the correct position.
