Astracast disposal emits a loud bang or clunk when turned off.

Safety First: Turn OFF power at the breaker before inspecting under the sink.

• Step 1 – Inspect grinding chamber: Check that impeller lugs are intact and not excessively loose or broken.
• Step 2 – Check discharge piping: Ensure the discharge elbow and pipes are securely fastened and not striking the cabinet when the motor stops.
• Step 3 – Add cushioning: Use rubber pads or clamps to prevent pipes from banging against surfaces.
• Step 4 – Monitor: If the noise is minor and no damage is visible, it may be normal lug movement. If it worsens, consider replacing the unit.

Warning: Sudden new noises should always be investigated to rule out mechanical failure.
