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

Baffle not allowing drainage - slow drainage

Has this baffle been changed to accomodate drainage? I'm just ready to order but prefer not to have the slow drainage.
Thank you.

Can one of your filters be used with this unit?

Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator Customer Service. Yes, you may use the F201 or the F1000S filtration systems to any InSinkErator Hot Water dispensers. The F201 will require you to have a 3/8” incoming supply valve while the F1000S will require you to have a ¼” incoming supply valve. If you are planning to purchase a new filtration system, we suggest that you look for the F1000S as we no longer manufacture the F201 model. If you have questions, you may call InSinkErator AnswerLine at 1 (800) 558-5700. Thank you.

The Evolution Excel food waste disposer is for those who enjoy the very best kitchen appliances. The ultimate in performance - nothing grinds more with less noise.
 

Does the Evolution Excel have an internal vent?

I will be remodeling the kitchen in the next few months and would like to eliminate the external chrome vent with the new sink.
Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator Customer Service. InSinkErator disposers do not have an internal vent. When you say internal and external vent, are you inquiring about an air gap? Our disposers also do not require an air gap. If you need more clarification about this, you may send your complete contact information through insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com and I will get in touch with you. You may also 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.
 

My Pro Compact has begun to make noise as the rotor is slowing down after the unit is turned off.

The disposer is less than one year old. Prior to this happening, it was the quietest disposer I had ever used. Now you can hear it as soon as the switch is turned off and the noise continues until the rotor comes to a halt. I have tried flushing it with water while running the disposer, but this did nothing to stop the noise. I removed the sink baffle but could see nothing unusual inside the disposer.
Hi Caitez,

I do apologize for the inconvenience that you encountered with your disposer.

We understand the disposer is making an unusual noise. Unknowingly, something might have gotten down inside the disposer causing this. If it is making a “machine gun” consistent type noise, something may be caught in the protrusions of the stationary shredder ring. If it is making a “bouncing around” type sound, there may be something that is being thrown around the inside of the chamber. We recommend that you check for this using the following procedure.

1. Make sure the disposer is electrically off.
2. Remove the quiet collar, and look down into the chamber from the sink hole opening with a flashlight.
3. Do NOT put your hands inside the disposer.
4. Shine a flashlight into the chamber to see if you can see anything that that should not be there. Closely inspect the entire floor of the chamber and pay special attention to the area around the outer edge of the disposer's shredding disk. There is a small space between the "floor" (flat surface of the shredder disc) and the wall of the disposer. Next to this space, lining the wall of the disposer, you will see some "windows" around the circumference of the canister and just above these windows there are some small v-shaped protrusions. Follow the circumference of this ring, looking at the v-shaped protrusions and the “windows”, to see if you can locate anything that should not be there. Objects or food debris (such as a bone shard) may be lodged in one of these v-shaped protrusions or “windows”. This will not impede the movement of the plate, but will cause a loud consistent (machine-gun type) noise as the lugs swing by and hit it.
5. If you do locate something, use a tool such as a long tongs or pliers to retrieve it. For a disposer that is magnetically actuated, use non-magnetic tools. Again, do not place your hands inside the disposer.
6. Turn the faucet on and let the water run through for 15-20 seconds.
7. Switch the disposer on and check if it is operating correctly.

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 try the steps below:

1. Make sure the disposer is electrically OFF.
2. Obtain a flashlight and a long-handled wooden spoon or other similar tool. For a disposer that is magnetically actuated, use non-magnetic tools.
3. Do NOT put your hands inside the disposer.
4. Remove the quiet collar and look down into the chamber from the sink hole opening with a flashlight.
5. Using the end of the wooden spoon, 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.

Our customer’s experience and satisfaction is very important to InSinkErator and I would like the opportunity to discuss this with you. In case these steps won’t resolve the issue, kindly send me an email through insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com with your complete contact information and serial number of your disposer and I will get in touch with you.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Jerica

The Evolution Essential food waste disposer is the ideal choice for a wide range of kitchens.
 

Why could it be loud?

Our plumber installed this and he said it should be running quieter than it is and he suggested it could be that its not getting enough power. Could it be a power problem? Product says its 120 volts and its on a breaker that is 240 volts. That breaker also has a 120 volt microwave and some small cabinet lights that go to it. Microwave is plugged in but not running and lights are turned off although I assume both are still drawing power. Could it be that those things are drawing power away from the disposal? Ironically we had a disposal that the motor just went on so that is why we just had this installed. We had that disposal for 8 years. He just seems to think its not getting enough power because it should be quieter than it is.

Does the box say hot and cold water on it?

I've ordered this unit from Amazon and when it came the box for the Faucet only said hot water faucet, is this a different unit? I really wanted the hot and cold water functionality. I'v already submitted a return request as I'm in the middle of a kitchen remodel and I'd hate for the hot/cold water faucet to hold up the progress. Is there something I can tell my plumber to do to get it ready for the correct faucet? Do I need to buy a separate cold water filter system? Is there something I can download to diagram what the plumber needs to do?
Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator Customer Service. May I ask for the exact model of the unit that you got from Amazon? If it is an F-HC3300, then it is a hot and cold faucet assembly. If it is an F-H3300, then it is a hot only faucet.

You may use the hot and cold faucet with or without a Chilled Water Tank. Without a Chilled Water Tank, the cold side will dispense the same temperature of water that comes from your main water supply. The instruction, care and use manual for each model are available through our website which is www.insinkerator.com. If you have further questions, you may contact me through insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com or call InSinkErator AnswerLine at 1 (800) 558-5700. Thank you.

Is there a way to get both hot and cold water at the same time?

Some times I want hot water, some times I need scalding hot water, some times I must have boiling hot water. Does the F-HC3300SN give me the ability to mix the water delivery so that I can have water of a temperature that I might want at that moment? Another way of asking -- does this faucet work as a mixing valve.
Hi, this is Jerica from InSinkErator Customer Service. Our hot and cold hot water dispensers do not have the ability to mix hot and cold water to produce lukewarm water. If you push the hot handle, it will dispense hot water and same goes with the cold handle. If one pushes the cold handle, it will only dispense cold or tap like temperature water. You may adjust the thermostat dial of the hot water tank to lower the temperature. If you have questions, you may call InSinkErator AnswerLine at 1 (800) 558-5700. Thank you.
