Ok take a putty knife and slide it between the top and front panal,,,, slide it twords the edges until you feel the clip...then push in the clip,, the top will pop open when you have both pushed in,,,,
lift the top up and prop in some manner look down the edges you will see two 5/16 inscrews, take those off and the panal will fall forward
loook under the tub and on the cabinet at that heiht,, if you see a black ring on the inside of your cabinet,,,,, unless your comfortable dooing a shaft seal id stop right there..
if no black marks

put a tub of water in the machnie let it fill
then put it in spin becare full but you should be able to see where the leak is comming from

Garbage disposer leaking at bottom

Since you have checked all pipes and see no leaks next please check the area around the top and bottom of drain housing. If that's not leaking there is a gasket inside the disposal that could fail and cause water to leak into the motor area and then leak through the bottom of the unit. Generally in my experience replacing the whole unit is a time saver because access to that gasket is a pain and finding the right gasket can be timely. Depending on how old the unit is I would just replace it.

Why is my keurig 560 leaking water from the base

Most likely the water lines inside your unit are leaking. If you can take the bottom of B60 off and look inside the unit. Usually, the line that comes off the water pump is leaking at the T connector. If not leaking there look for other signs of leaking while the bottom is off. You can call Keurig 800 number to see if your unit is still under warrenty. Hope this helps.

How does the bottom plate come off a badger garbage disposal

Hi, the only plate that should be removed on the bottom is for wiring the power cord to the unit. If there is water leaking, specifically from the bottom of the unit, it's leaking through the enClosure assembly which is not serviceable. If the unit isn't that old it might just be leaking from the sink flange or mounting gasket at the top of the unit which at times can be difficult to detect. Or possibly the gaskets at the drain assembly for the unit. Hope this helps ;)

Garbage Disposal Leaks from the bottom.

Hi GF,

Unless there is a leak at the sink gasket that makes it appear that the unit is leaking from the bottom, it's probably the main seal in the unit. It's generally not worth it to attempt disassembly and repair, especially if the unit is 10 years old or older.

Just remember to make sure the power is off before you attempt any
troubleshooting or replacement.

Be safe...

Condensation leaking out of unit

if it is the indoor unit leaking, make sure that all your drain lines are clear.... if you're talking about the outdoor unit leaking water in the heat cycle...that is normal.
