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 iden-
tical. However, electrical connections vary depending upon the
disposer specications, power supply, and electrical controls.
Specication Decal
The specication 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.
DANGER
Figure 1. Specication 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 pro-
tector 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 dispos-
er, bypass all electrical starting and/or electrical controls
and run the disposer direct.
• Make sure the disposer electrical specications 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 ttings
are secure and do not leak.

Testing Capacitor
ELECTRIC SHOCK! A charged capacitor
will hold an electric charge until it is
discharged or shorted out. DO NOT touch
capacitor terminals or electric shock may
occur.
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.
Do not use a screwdriver to discharge or
capacitor may be damaged.
1. Remove screw and terminal box (Figure 23).
2. Insert a at blade screwdriver between capacitor clip and ca-
pacitor and gently pry capacitor from bracket.
3. Mark and remove lead wires from capacitor terminals. If ag
connectors are not present, cut lead wires approximately 1"
from terminal on capacitor.
4. Set ohmmeter to highest scale. Connect ohmmeter probes to
capacitor terminals (Figure 25).
• If meter does not move, capacitor is open. Replace it.
• If meter needle jumps to zero and stays there, capacitor is
shorted. Replace it.
• If meter needle jumps to zero and slowly rises toward inn-
ity, capacitor is working.
Installing Capacitor
1. Reconnect wires to capacitor (ag connectors if present -
otherwise solder into place).
2. Snap capacitor into place on bracket.
3. Install screw and terminal box (Figure 23).
