The Jam-Buster Wrench is a quick, effective tool to help free simple jams in your InSinkErator manufactured disposer. Insert the hex wrench into the center hole in the bottom of the disposer and turn back and forth to free the jam. Works only on InSinkErator manufactured disposers.
 

Let me know the diameter or size. I would take it from HomeDepot

Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator® Customer Service. Each InSinkErator disposer is shipped with a self-service wrench. The wrench is silver colored, and shaped like a little crank, about four inches long. If you cannot find the service wrench, you can use a standard 1/4 inch Allen wrench. If you do not have your self-service wrench, and would like one, you may send your request to insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com and we will be happy to send you one at no cost. Thank you.

This InSinkErator Involve Series system, which includes the View instant hot water dispenser and re-engineered Stainless Steel Tank, provides 200�F near-boiling water for a variety of uses. Transitionally designed, the Involve View complements both soft contemporary and traditional design styles. Enjoy hot water right when you need it - now.
 

How quickly is water supposed to shut off?

After releasing the handle on the H-View-SN we installed about 8 months ago, a small amount of water continues to come out of the faucet- see video attached. Is this just the tube beyond the valve emptying, or is it defective?

The redesigned stainless steel hot water tank (HWT-F1000S), which includes the new water filtration system (F-1000S), will feature a new high-end appearance. It is re-engineered for longer life and improved performance with a 2/3-gallon capacity tank, tool-free connections to ease installation, and dry-start protection for peace of mind. This tank provides up to 60 cups of near-boiling, filtered water per hour.
 

Where can I buy the quick connect piece required

Where online can and I buy the quick connect piece. Why is it not included.
Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator® Customer Service. InSinkErator faucet assemblies with a plastic inlet tube can connect to our current tanks with the use of a Colder Fitting. This fitting is the snap connector that connects the inlet tube to the left inlet port on top of the tank. It's not included with the tank because it comes already connected to our current faucets. In case you are using an older InSinkErator faucet assembly that does not have a Colder Fitting yet, you may order this part through our parts depots: Carroll Parts (USA) at 800-654-3545 or Reliable Parts (Canada) at 800-941-9217. When you are connecting the Colder Fitting to the inlet tube of the faucet, make sure that the tube is cut perpendicular (straight & true) at the end of it and there are no burrs. For more inquiries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us through insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com or call InSinkErator AnswerLine at 1 (800) 558-5700. Thank you.

Note: Faucets with a copper inlet tube can not connect and will need to be replaced.

Does this model have a reset button? We have incoming electricity, but no grinding action or even an attempt to grind.

Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator® Customer Service. If your disposer has overheated and will not turn on (reset button will be dropped down about ¼ inch), you can reset it very easily by pushing the red square button on the bottom of the disposer. If the button will not go in, let the disposer cool down for 3-5 more minutes, then try again. The reset button should stay up after the motor has cooled. For more inquiries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us through insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com or call InSinkEator AnswerLine at 1 (800) 558-5700. Thank you.

Specifically designed to muffle disposer noise while preventing water and food particles from splashing up. Installs in seconds with no tools and is easily removed for cleaning. Not for use with Evolution Series and E606 disposers.
 

will this fit the Model Essential-1?

I have the InsinkErator Essential-1, with the old original baffle, which seems to me to be a bit too restrictive. Can I remove the old one and replace with this style?
Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator® Customer Service. The InSinkErator Removable Sound Baffle is an accessory designed to be used with the previous deluxe and current standard InSinkErator household disposers. For continuous feed type Evolution models, its replacement baffle is the Quiet Collar Sink Baffle. I have included a link below for your reference. For more inquiries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us through insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com or call InSinkEator AnswerLine at 1 (800) 558-5700. Thank you.

The InSinkErator Badger Series food waste disposers are a reliable and functional choice when affordability is the prime concern. Choose from three models, each with a space-saving compact design.

Good with septic tanks?

Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator® Customer Service. All InSinkErator household disposers, including the Badger 5 model can be used with septic systems. If your system is using a dishwasher or clothes washer, it can handle a disposer. After all, a disposer uses only about as much water per day as one flush of a toilet. Disposers by themselves will not clog a septic tank if the tank meets government standards and is adequately maintained. For more inquiries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us through insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com or call InSinkErator AnswerLine at 1 (800) 558-5700. Thank you.

The Evolution Compact food waste disposer is perfect for small households and houses with restricted cabinet space.
 

loose bolt in bottom of the top most part of the appliance

I do not know how to tighten it or if it an be tightened. The appliance works but makes a loud rattling noise because of this loose. bolt. This can be easily seen when looking down into the appliance.
Hi jlinck,

Your disposer uses two swiveling impellers to push food around and crush or impel it against the grind ring located on the wall of the disposer chamber. These impellers must turn freely for the disposer to work efficiently. If your disposer is making a rattling noise, something might have gotten down inside the disposer causing this. We recommend that you check for this using the following procedure.

1. Hold the baffle back or remove the quiet collar, and look down into the chamber from the sink hold opening with a flashlight.

2. See if there is anything caught inside. Look at the flow of the chamber (flat surface of the shredding plate) and pay special attention to the area around the outer edge. Around the edge you will see some "windows" around the circumference of the canister and just above these windows there are some small v-shaped protrusions that something could be caught in.

3. If you do locate something, use a tool such as long tongs or pliers to retrieve it.

4. Turn the faucet on and let the water run through for 15-20 seconds.

5. Switch the disposer on to check for the noise.

If the unusual noise is an “inconsistent” metallic bouncing around or scraping sound, the rotor shredder plate may be loose from the rotor shaft. Kindly follow the next set of steps.

1. Make sure the disposer is electrically off.

2. Obtain a flashlight and a long-handled wooden spoon or other similar tool.

3. Do not put your hands inside the disposer.

4. Push the black flaps down and look down into the chamber from the sink hole opening with a flashlight.

5. Shine the flashlight into the chamber. Using the end of the wooden spoon or tool, press on the top of the flat plate (floor of the chamber). It should be firm and not rock up and down like a see-saw. If it does rock up and down, your disposer will require service.

In case the issue will not be resolved, please send an email to insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com and someone will get back to you immediately.

Sincerely,

Jerica

Is the stainless steel storage tank coated with BPA or BPS?

I am wondering what the source of the bad taste of the hot water is- does the hot water come into contact with the plastic in any way?
Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator® Customer Service. All InSinkErator stainless steel hot water tanks are not coated. The tubing and filters for the hot water dispenser system are BPA and BPS free. There are a number of reasons why their water may taste bad or funny. Our customer’s experience and satisfaction with our products are very important to InSinkErator and I would like the opportunity to assist you with this. Kindly send an email to insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com with your complete contact information and serial number of your unit. I will get in touch with you immediately. Thank you.
