How to fix a Thermador garbage disposal leak
Unplug the garbage disposal and make sure the sink flange is properly seated and sealed. Check the sink flange support ring and tighten the ring if it's loose. If the support ring is tight, check the sink flange gasket for damage and replace the 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.
