GENERAL INFORMATION

Safety Signals

This symbol indicates potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages accompanying this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous DANGER situation which, if not avoided, will result in

death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in

minor or moderate injury.

Commercial Disposers

InSinkErator® manufactures commercial food waste disposers with motors ranging from 1/2 horsepower through 10 horsepower.

The basic assembly of all SS Series commercial disposers is identical. However, electrical connections vary depending upon the disposer specifications, power supply, and electrical controls.

Specification Decal

The specification decal (Figure 1) located on the motor trim cover indicates

•complete model number (example - SS150-24)

•serial number (includes manufactured date)

•amperage

•voltage

•phase

•horsepower.

NOTE: The correct part sheet (as designated by the complete model number) must be referenced to order replacement parts.

Figure 1. Specification Decal

Prior to Service Call

•Obtain the model number, serial number, voltage and phase from the customer to prepare for the service call.

•Date of installation.

•Obtain the service history of the disposer.

•Make sure the customer has tried resetting the overload protector and has checked for foreign objects jammed in the grind chamber (see “Troubleshooting” on page 25).

•Before troubleshooting for mechanical problems, determine if the problem is electrical:

•To determine if the problem is in the switch or the disposer, bypass all electrical starting and/or electrical controls and run the disposer direct.

•Make sure the disposer electrical specifications match the electric power supply.

•Make sure the motor lead connections are correct for the corresponding power supply and starting controls.

•Determine if there are electrical problems with other kitchen appliances. This may indicate a problem in the building’s electrical circuitry.

After Completing Service

Test the disposer for proper operation and ensure that the fittings are secure and do not leak.

PREPARATION FOR REPAIR

DANGER ELECTRIC SHOCK! Turn off water and electrical supply. Discharge capacitor with

1000 ohm jumper wire (1 Phase only). Do not use a screwdriver to discharge or capacitor may be damaged.

Removing Disposer

1.Turn off electrical supply and water supply to disposer.

2.Disconnect cold water connection from disposer body water inlet (if connected).

3.Disconnect waste line from disposer.

4.Remove terminal box retaining screw and terminal box cover. See “Terminal Box & Trim Band” on page 9. Mark motor lead wires and electrical supply wires, then disconnect wires and grounding wire from disposer.

NOTE: Make sure sink can bear weight of disposer before legs are loosened. In some cases, support disposer before loosening or removing legs.

5.If equipped with legs and legs interfere with removing disposer from mounting flange, pull O-ring down disposer leg, turn each leg clockwise to raise legs and gain floor clearance.

6.Remove disposer from mounting flange by turning disposer or loosening bolts as necessary (depending on mounting flange).

7.To remove legs, remove black cap plug from bottom of support leg (Figure 6). Insert slotted screwdriver into open end of leg support tube and turn stud counterclockwise until free of upper end bell. Pull leg from disposer.

Installing Disposer

		ELECTRIC SHOCK! Turn off water and

		with jumper wire (1 Phase only).

1.If unit was equipped with legs, insert leg assemblies through end cover guide holes. Insert screwdriver into open end of leg support tube and turn stud clockwise to install. Install O-ring, washer and cap to each leg (Figure 6).

NOTE: On models SS-150 thru SS-200, legs are optional and recommended where the disposer is mounted to a thin gauge sink (16 gauge minimum), dish table, using a #5 mounting assembly or non-InSinkErator mounting adaptors. On models SS-300 and above, legs are factory installed and recessed on the unit.

2.Attach disposer to the mounting assembly by positioning in mounting flange and turning disposer into flange or tightening bolts (depending on specific mounting).

3.Adjust legs so unit is supported evenly. Push O-ring up flush with bottom of unit.

4.Connect electrical supply wires to the motor leads. Reference the wiring diagram attached to the inside of the terminal box or the Wiring Diagrams section of the Disposer Control Center Installation manual.

5.Reinstall terminal box.

		ELECTRIC SHOCK! Make sure electrical

6.Connect waste line to disposer.

7.Connect cold water supply to disposer body water inlet (if previously installed).

8.Turn on electrical and water supply.

9.Test the disposer to ensure the cutting elements revolve and the water flows automatically. Make sure the disposer is securely mounted and does not leak from any of the connections.

Replacing Water Inlet

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the disposer to repair water inlet.

Water Inlet Kit part number is 13956.

1.Using a wrench, remove water inlet from upper body (Figure 10).

2.Remove any burrs on water inlet hole.

3.Wrap Teflon tape around new water inlet fitting and insert fitting through water inlet hole from inside of upper body.

4.Place O-ring in groove in water inlet nut. A small amount of grease may be used to hold O-ring in place during installation.

5.From outside of body, attach water inlet nut to water inlet fitting. Tighten nut with wrench.

NOTE: Water inlet fitting and nut are joined with a left-hand thread.

Replacing Shredder Gasket

1.Remove disposer. See “Removing Disposer” on page 7.

2.Remove screws securing tailpipe and gasket from upper end bell assembly (Figure 10).

3.Remove terminal box and trim band (Figure 10).

4.Remove screws securing body and cover assembly to upper end bell assembly (Figure 10).

5.Lift cover and upper body assembly off upper end bell assembly

6.Separate the upper body assembly from the cover.

7.Remove old gasket. Install new gasket to bottom edge of upper body (Figure 11).

8.Place cover over upper body.

9.Place cover and upper body assembly onto upper end bell assembly. There are two tabs on the inside of the cover. These tabs fit into the two side grooves on the upper end bell with the waste outlet aligned with the waste outlet cutout.

10.Secure in place with screws.

11.Install trim band and terminal box. See “Terminal Box & Trim Band” on page 9.

12.Re-install tailpipe gasket and tailpipe using screws (Figure 10).

13.Install disposer. See “Installing Disposer” on page 7.

Replacing Stationary Shredder

Removal

1.Remove disposer. See “Removing Disposer” on page 7.

2.Remove cover and upper body assembly. Perform steps 2 – 5 under “Replacing Shredder Gasket” on page 10.

3.Lubricate the full outside diameter of the shredder ring with penetrating oil.

4.Place a 1”D x 1-1/4”L long piece of pipe or similar sized hex socket over rotating shredder nut (Figure 12).

5.Using a 5/16” thick flat bar, rest bar on top of pipe or socket with flat end under shredder teeth. Strike jam release bar with a soft non-metallic mallet (rawhide, nylon, leather, wood) to break the seal and remove stationary shredder.

Do not strike stationary shredder or shredder could be damaged.

Installation

1.Clean old silicone and dirt from upper end bell.

2.Apply water resistant silicone sealant around bottom of stationary shredder.

3.Place stationary shredder on upper end bell, aligning one stationary shredder groove with upper end bell weep hole (Figure 13). Strike stationary shredder firmly on alternate sides with soft mallet until securely seated.

Do not use metal hammer or die cast stationary shredder will break.

4.Turn rotating shredder by hand and make sure it rotates freely.

5.Install cover and upper body. Perform steps 8–13 under “Replacing Shredder Gasket” on page 10.
