Introduction

Garbage disposals can run into problems when built-up waste accumulates over time. It is important that one has a fully functional garbage disposal to drain correctly and to rid one’s sink of waste. This guide will show you how to replace a garbage disposal in 10 minutes or less!

    • Before installing your garbage disposal, make sure both your pipes and garbage disposal mount (pictured at the top) are aligned correctly to support your model.

    • Connect the silver mounting hardware attached to the top of the garbage disposal by turning it clockwise.

    • Mount disposal to the sink using one hand to lift it and the other to attach to the silver mounting hardware while making sure to match the grooves of your disposal into the mount. The disposal should now be all in one piece.

There is a tiny hose that attaches to an air compressor. It keeps falling off.
