  Constant dripping from the spout or vent of your InSinkErator Water Dispenser usually indicates debris in the water line, which may be lodged in the faucet valve seat, causing a slow leak. Try these steps: First, unscrew the spout end piece and clean out any debris. If that doesn't work, activate the faucet lever 7-10 times to flush the faucet and water lines.

  If a new filter leaks or doesn't fit in your InSinkErator Water Dispenser, remove it, inspect it, and then reinstall the filter cartridge. If the issue persists, remove the new filter and replace it with the old one to check if it operates correctly. If the old filter works fine, reinstall the new filter and check its operation again.

  If the water from your InSinkErator Water Dispenser is either too hot or not hot enough, the thermostat may need adjustment. Adjust the thermostat slowly, then activate the faucet lever for about 20 seconds to introduce fresh water for heating at the new setting. Allow 5-7 minutes for the water to reach the new temperature.

  If your InSinkErator Water Dispenser is spitting water and steam forcefully from the spout without being turned on, it may be boiling, especially during the initial setup. Try activating the faucet lever to release some water from the tank. You can also adjust the water temperature using the dial on the front of the tank. Remember that water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes.

Why is my InSinkErator Water Dispenser dripping from the spout/vent intermittently?

  ucalhounSep 3, 2025
  Intermittent dripping from the spout or vent of your InSinkErator Water Dispenser can occur if the expansion chamber isn't draining properly due to low water pressure, or if the spout is blocked. Unplug the unit. If the dripping doesn’t stop after a few minutes, check the supply valve to ensure that it is fully open and that there are no obstructions in the water line reducing the pressure below 30 psi. Also, unscrew the spout end piece and clean out any debris.
