THANK YOU! I’m a 61 year old woman with MS. I was able to do this by myself, only because of your wonderful instructions. The cost of plumbers are so high. This gives me money to put toward my expensive medicines. You never know who you are helping and why. I found it important to let you know that you’re making a difference! God bless.

@DiRidpath 6 лет назад

Thank you for this video. I m a 67 year old single woman. Because of this video I was able to remove my hardwired disposal and replace it with a new one by myself. Except....I did have to get my grandson to help me lift the new one up to fasten it. It was pretty darned heavy to hold up there and fasten the ring at the same time.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 6 лет назад

This is so great to hear! I am so happy to hear that this video helped you out. Makes me want to keep making videos. You made my day!

@ernestleo6284 4 года назад

The HP of the motor has a big bearing on the weight as well as the materials the disposal is made of. In some cases people have used a car jack to lift the unit in place. Whatever works once installed you should enjoy several years of good performance.

Hey, I'm a new subscriber! I recently tried to mimic this in a nursing home while watching the video upside down. They had four wires going into the garbage disposal unit and it looked like a small barbecue grill with the legs on it. I probably don't have a job anymore, it didn't go well.. but, I still sat here through 26 minutes of video because I want to support you!

Hey I'm a 55 year old woman - and not that women can't do this stuff - but I never had done it in the past, but I changed my first garbage disposal today using your video. Thanks so much, your video was very very precise and detailed (you didn't miss a thing) with all the helpful hints, it was great. Thank you! Good luck with your new house. I bought an old house too. If I can fix things myself, it'll save me loads of money :) Just one thing I'd add for old folks like me - put a box or old phone books underneath the disposal before you unhook it because it's heavy and it'll fall. I put a gallon sized paint can underneath the disposal. It was helpful not only for disassembly but also when I was trying to screw the new one on.

Thanks for this video. Your detailed step by step instructions were clear and very helpful. The only grief I had was with removing the old disposal, as its attachment system was completely different and that meant the outflow plumbing didn't line up with the new disposal. But I eventually got it sorted out. Thanks!

I just bought a new disposal today. I have such a hard time getting anyone to do anything for me so I figured I might give it a try tomorrow after I go buy plumbers putty and clamp connector. It looks doable after watching you do and explain strep by step directions. Thank you for that. I have a few other projects in the make of installing a ceiling fan and a new kitchen light fixture. I'll see if you have a video on that.

YAY!!! I installed new garbage disposal for the first time watching your video!!🙌🙌 Admittedly i did not trust this was same as mine so i read instructions and then watched each portion of your video and you were lined up exactly the same! I will trust you completely next time!!! Running dishwasher to test for leaks. I so freakin happy 😁😁 Thank you thank you!!

@SeanBaker 5 лет назад

I replaced my old disposal about a year ago, because the one from the previuos house owner rotted out underneath. I didn't know they could do that! I'm so glad I saved the money and replaced it myself. It was SO easy. Good ol insinkerator swap out. I also had to label my own circuits. Ugh. I have a flex joint, also.

@ibuilddrones9715 4 года назад

Thanks man you gave all the right advice. Grandmas old disposal said installed in 1998! It was a insinkerator and I honestly don't know how it still ran. The only real problem was the seal had warped and the plastic around it wasn't holding a seal. It only had a small leak. Impressive tutorial straight to the point. First video I found too! Cheers!

@TheFixerHomeRepair 4 года назад

Nice! Happy to help out! So you changed out the disposal? Or you haven't done it yet? Just wondering if you used this video to help do the job.

@joeweatlu5169 2 года назад

Glad you checked the power with the tester. Although you shut the breaker to the receptacle, it wouldn't necessarily mean the power to the disposer is dead. The disposer could also be on a separate circuit.

@user-bg2yt1rr8q 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the detailed instructions, it was my first time changing one out. I will say the hardest part was the snap ring re-install....that was hard to understand completely. I also had pvc directly in my way, so wasn't as easy as sliding in under the sink. Great video, keep it up.

@elitehandyman911 Год назад

I’m very impressed you were able to fit a stainless sink flange to a cast iron sink. Insinkerator sells a longer flange for porcelain and cast iron kitchen sinks.

Thank you so much for this video. I watched so many of them and yours was the most helpful. I have never done anything related to plumbing or electricity before. With the pandemic, the family is resistant to hiring a plumber to change out a broken and leaking garbage disposal. Mine was completely rusted over so I had to use WD40 and some screwdrivers to get the old disposal out but after I got it out, I followed your video the rest of the way. Thank you, thank you!

Tomorrow I hard-wire a Waste King 3300. The Fixer, you have given me confidence, so bless you, my friend.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 5 лет назад

Great to hear! Let me know how it goes!

@cobrabill1 5 лет назад

It was a brutal battle, but the battle was won. The existing switch was a standard on/off underneath the sink next to the disposal. My first action was to swap the switch for a switch/outlet combo so as not to have to modify the Waste King 3300; just plug it in and have it run by the new switch. After I did that I had an open neutral I couldn't figure out--a voltage detector indicated there was current running through any cord plugged into the outlet, but nothing plugged in would run. After I asked an electrician friend how to fix that, he said I'd probably want to go with a GFCI combo switch, but he didn't think such a thing existed and my idea probably would not pass code. So I set about hard-wiring instead. The hardest part was cutting the cord out of this particular disposal model, as others have mentioned around the Internet. There was a very tough rubber strain relief for the cord I ended up Dremel-tooling out bit by bit so the resulting hole wouldn't be mangled and thus would take another strain relief for the new wiring configuration. After some modification of the existing BX housing I was able to get everything installed, and so far, so good. Again, many thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks so much for this video! I thought mine was broken and while shopping new ones at Home Depot I learned you can use the allen wrench on the bottom to unjam them. I did this when I got home and it freed it up but didn't fix the problem when I flipped the switch to turn on. I was about to give in and buy a new one so I started watching this to learn the install process. Your tip on pushing the red reset button did the trick! I didn't see it when I was under there before and now you saved me $150 or so. Thanks!

@rogers.7429 5 лет назад

Thanks a bunch for the excellent video. I watched it and thought, "I can do this". A couple of tips. A power screw driver makes dismantling the old one much easier. If you're removing a really old unit, the bolts on the discharge pipe are a 3/8" hex head on Insinkerators. They will probably be a bit rusted, use a socket to break them loose. When cleaning out the old putty, a standard tall kitchen trashcan should fit under the sink. It'll catch all the junk that falls down.
