[@kenbrown2808]

a pro tip, if you happen to be shopping for cabinets. the style that has a vertical between the cabinet doors is a complete PITA to do anything with. get the kind like Bill has, where the doors just meet in the middle. that way you don't have to fight with an obstruction between the doors. also, every plumber I've seen install a disposal has always filled the sink basin and pulled the drain plug as part of their leak check. just running water down the drain only checks the bottom of the pipe, and when you dump a sinkload of water, it completely fills the pipe.

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, the dividers between cabinet doors are a complete PITA when doing something like changing out a disposal. Agreed about filling the sink tub. Also, run the dishwasher, and look for leaks or problems. Thanks Ken!

[@lauraramirez8404]

Many Thanks to you for such a detailed tutorial for a first timer like me! I discovered our disposal was leaking-What a mess! Being a single mom I didn't have the means to pay someone. I started watching videos, many to be exact but NONE were as helpful or informative as yours! My son's ages 15&12 assisted and we did it! No leaks. Perfect!So grateful I found your video!🙂

[@tararollins7551]

I’m in the same boat as you are Laura and I agree, great tutorial with step by step instructions! Thanks so much!

[@SparkyChannel]

Glad to be of help!

[@vmmckenney2091]

Now I know why I waited close to 2 years to tackle this in my house! THANK YOU, Reusing parts that are still good? COOL, and saves time ! And that use of a car jack =exactly, why not ?!? Good to know the 2017 Tacoma truck jack that comes with the truck is good for home projects ! Only hiccup I had was my old Badger 5 unit , had a Jerry-rigged plug in connector to the wall-I was worried I was missing something from your video - But I was assured by a phone a friend , that the plug I had “matched up” with what you had , so all is good !

[@SparkyChannel]

See: How to Wire a Garbage Disposal (Including Polarity Check for the Wires): kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3uYaql5mpuUZpY Sounds great! You can do it!

[@RicanVic24]

I'm a new homeowner who had to do this today. Sir, thank you so much for helping me with this. I hope you know you're very much appreciated.

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks so much!

[@chrispate2788]

Thanks my friend for that instructional install, and its ALLWAYS helpful !👍🙏

[@SparkyChannel]

Sounds great!

[@MarkAlbert]

Have been replacing so many food waste disposals for clients and never knew they are available with power cord attached. Need to look for those as it would surely save me some time. Yes, yes, I always check polarity when replacing the power cord... With regard to the mounting assembly, I always replace it to give clients the full value of a new disposal, but that's just me. Anyway, I always love it when my favorite electrician expert turns to plumbing! I am glad you are branching out! 🙂

[@SparkyChannel]

The weird thing is that Home Depot charges $14 for an Insinkerator brand cord while Insinkerator only charges $10 extra for a corded disposal! And the cord is so nicely sealed. Good job on checking for polarity. Many people feel that since the hot and neutral wires are both black, it doesn't matter. But it matters a lot, so great job. I actually worked as a professional plumber for a while. Electrical is a much better trade IMO though. Keep up the great work Mark!

[@ggLeoluc]

Thank you for the video! Just did this today, and everything worked with no leaks first try. Car jack trick helped a ton.

[@SparkyChannel]

Great job!

[@milesaway3422]

YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS, using a car jack. Thank you for that, and the close up of it going back on the mounting bracket. It’s too heavy for me to finagle while holding it, and I hadn’t thought abóut this problem, when I took it apart!! Brilliant!!

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks so much! If someone has a bad wrist, elbow etc., it can mean the difference of being able to do the job or not.

Thank you! One of the best DIY videos ever! I took me 30 minutes to install.

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks so much!

[@d.j.d2442]

Thanks for video. Just replaced mine and yes, fast. Did not realize I could use the old parts…not leaking so went for it. So far so good. Appreciate it.

[@markkilborn512]

I just did this today with my 13 year old son helping. I’ve never done any plumbing work before, but this just saved me about $350 (the cheapest quote I received for replacing my disposal, not including the price of the unit). $100, 30 minutes of work and we’re done. Thank you!

Good Video. It definitely helped me.relmove and reinstall my disposal. It had become very jammed due to a tiny screw. The unjam tool couldn't unjam it. Had to remove then get lots of leverage and a little help with a hammer prodding the unjam tool. Works like a champ now.

The use of a bottle jack is a great idea. It can really help in preventing you from bending the lock ring and creating a leak.

You might want to add putting a weight or something on the sink flange up top to keep it from shuffling while installing/ removing (and you're keeping the old drain flange). It it moves, you risk breaking the waterproof seal.

In Chicago its against code to drain a dishwasher thru a food grinder.Has Chicago just not changed its code or can you think of a reason for this rule.

[@alexrosenberg_tube]

The Badger line is designed to fail. Buy the higher-end stainless steel models if you want it to last.

[@SparkyChannel]

I agree. The 1/3 hp and the 1/2 hp are a waste of money. I got the 3/4 hp with a 4 year warrantee. I'll be keeping that paperwork because I don't trust it. True, the stainless one's are quiet too.

Gone through several videos... I've replaced the disposal. Are there any suggestions to what I can do with the old one. Do I just throw it away?

[@SparkyChannel]

I found this on Google: "Since garbage disposals are mostly metal, it is better to think salvage rather than the landfill. This process recycles a variety of items including copper, aluminum, steel and more. Find out where to take your old disposer check with Earth911 and check under “metals” for your local zip code."
