Leaking sinkmaster 850 garbage disposal

The seal on the shaft is leaking, the cost of paying someone to replacing it would be more than what the machine is worth, unless you can DIY.

Your food processor will leak if you have too much liquid in there. Try using something else. Maybe see if Target will exchange it for something different.

Sounds like the white plastic sliders that turn the motor on and off may be stuck. The sliders engage the 3 tabs on the mixer cup which the push down and turn the motor on. Probably have some leakage from the mixing cup gumming the white sliders up. Unplug the mixer from power and use a cloth or sponge fairly wet with some hot water to try and loosen up the stuff under the sliders. Then spritz the sliders with some WD-40 which will displace the water. Dry it off good with a paper towel, let it dry/drain well upside down on a paper towel before you plug it back in. Good luck.

Broken fin may not cause the leak because it has no contact with the content. Bad gasket can cause leak. The are available at houseware stores.

It sounds as if the seal is leaking where the blades go through the container.

yes, i replaced my american standard hose it was a lot of work to get new hose down the facuat body, you can go to their website and get part number and price for hose. my amercian standard hose was about the cost of a new facuat, so i adapted a differebt make to fit with reducers and nipples.

hook the end up to the cutoff valve then the fridge dump first batch of ice out nothing special to do

Yes you can buy a replacement seal which you can get through your supplier. Do you have an exploded view. By the time we got the replacement and fitted it we were not sure how it went in and the user manual does not even mention the seal

I phoned the 800 number at Cuisinart (800-243-8540) and the person who answered the phone explained to me what to do: Fill the bowl with the hottest tap water I have (but not boiling) above the entire blade (including the part that fits over the shaft). He said to pulse a few times, then try to pull it off, but not to expect it to work right away. He said to do this until it comes off and that it could take 1/2 hour. I did what he said, and the blade came off after the first pulses. But also, the water was pouring out all over the counter--leaking between the bowl and the base (possibly because my old work bowl is also cracked, but I'm not sure).

I was told that the problem would happen again, and that I needed replace the blade and the shaft (which is cracked, as he guessed), both of which are available from Cuisinart.
