Does the tubing from the switch to the control unit have water in it?

Have you unplugged the disposal from the air switch and plugged the disposal directly into the power to test it? So you know for sure it isn't the disposal itself?

If the disposal is OK, then the tube may very well have water in it. That's easy enough. You can simply pull the hose/tube off of the nib on the air switch unit and then push the swith several times to see if it pushes any water out.

Or there could be a kink or a tear in the hose somewhere along the line.

it's most likely a prob. with the air tube. Make sure it's connected, not broken or kinked or full of water.

Thanks! We will check the air tube and see if that is the problem--just didn't know where to start.

If the air tube does have a leak, it's very simple to get a new piece from the hardware store or a pet store (aquarium air tubing) and very easy and inexpensive to repllce it yourself.

You may have to hit a reset button on your disposal after checking the tubing.
