My Garbage Disposal LEAKS - EASY FIX - SAVE $$

Do-It-Yourself video to fix your leaking garbage disposal

[@larrysee7306]

Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial.Old video, but this may help future viewers: @3:15 you show the flange in place and screws tightened. To get to this point, you have to re-install the spring clip BEFORE tightening the screws.

Thanks! Plumber quoted me $350 to do this! Then he leaned in and whispered “Please don’t pay me $350 for a 10 minute job that will cost you $2 to do yourself. KZbin it and do it yourself. It’s easy!”

Hi, question my disposal kerps tripping breaker. I've done the allen wrench twist underneath, broom stick trick and it keeps tripping. It does leak and has leaked for awhile even when it did work. Can the leaking be tripping breaker? Its plugged into a GCI and then powered by a wall switch. Unit is 2 years old. Thanks

[@GoldenNinja50]

It leaks and drips down from disposal. Leak doesnt go in receptical.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Golden Ninja 50 Thanks for watching. The leak may be causing added moisture to the lower fuse which in return, may be triggering the trip. We recommend inspecting all electrical wiring & ensuring all wiring is in good safe working order. You will want to get a new Disposal if it’s leaking at the bottom. Keep us posted.

Something in my disposal broke(while I was using it) and it is gushing water from several places in the bottom when I turn on the water. I have to think it is traveling through the motor compartment. Any ideas? I did fish out some pieces of plastic fork from the top.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

brad h Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. Safety 1st, make sure you unplug Disposal from Outlet before moving to next steps. This has happened to us in the past. It made us think that our Disposal was 100% ruined. A few things you can do. 1. With your Disposal off, run water full open & use your Unclogging Disposal tool & try to loosen up object. 2. Try removing object if you can see it. 3. Fill entire sink full of water & then turn on Disposal. This will allow the water pressure to possibly remove object. Let’s start there. Keep us posted.

my disposal is leaking from underneath, any suggestions on how to fix it?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for viewing and commenting. Leaking from the bottom indicates possible symptoms of internal damage to the parts as well as the main plastic shell or case that houses all parts. In the past...leaking from the bottom is signs leading to replacing the entire unit as a whole. After you get the new one installed you will be extremely happy with the new update...you will no longer be poring money into the old unit. Let me know what you do...Subscribe to the channel if you're up to it. Thanks again! 😀

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Let’s get this figured out. You may have a jam. 1st thing to do is unplug garbage disposal and cut all electrical power to the unit. Next, you can use the jamming tool or the proper size hex key to un-jam disposal. Below is a link to our video showing this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXyvkKmdrNmFbJI Next, check to ensure that your lower breaker is pushed in.

Thought I'd come here to save a few dollars. Realized halfway through the video, I'm no plumber...

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for checking out the video! What exactly are you experiencing with your unit? If leaks...have you narrowed down the leak point? Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome! Thanks again!

[@_rmaze_quiambao5215]

The leak is coming from the pipe connected to the disposal. Started when my washing machine still had water in it after I finished a load. (other words, it didn't drain all the water out of the machine because it was backed up) It might be a clogging issue as well somewhere in the house. I saw the "plumbers putty" in the video and immediately got intimidated. It's funny. There was a plumber next door that very day at my neighbor's. I'm thinking she's having the same problem. Thanks for the help. I've subscribed. =)

_rmaze_ Quiambao 😀 very cool! Is it leaking from the rubber hose or the hard tube below the rubber hose? You might just need to tighten your clamp with a screw driver. Thanks for Subscribing ! 😀👍

Now there's an idea! I think I'll try that. Appreciate it!

[@thesultanmerchant]

you mentioned verbally but did not show practically how garbage disposal is disconnected which is very important part for lay person.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for checking out the video. Thats a good point. This video is primarily focused on leak detection.

You did a great job until we went under the sink and you showed everything from the paper gasket to the snap ring in place. You skipped plenty of steps for me to give the 230th thumbs down. I know those steps now but not from this video...

[@hateroc1914]

This was so helpful!!! Thank you!!!

[@jdrumz321ify]

What if its leaking from the bottom??

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. That’s a tough call...🤔 We always recommend purchasing a new disposal if it’s leaking from bottom. Keep us posted on your project. Below is a link to our video showing our new disposal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap-xkmyHd6mfq7M 😎👍🔧🔩

The most important part of the re-assembly where the flange at the bottom that is mated to the top part got skip. ( The ring , re-tightening of the bolt, etc.). I can figure it out, but this is suppose to be a detailed instruction so just a little bit to be desired. But, thanks anyway, I can figure it out from here.
