Garbage disposers plays a pivotal role in kitchen sinks. They are simply wonderful in avoiding the inconvenience and expense of calling in the plumber for help. But, proper maintenance of the sink disposal is the only solution for its efficient working. If this part of the appliance is left ignored, surely you need to change it.

At times, when you need to remove the appliance and wants to fit the other one, you don’t have to call the expert. Rather, the homeowners can do this very conveniently by themselves. This article familiarizes you with some important steps that can help an individual to carry out the process themselves.

Since, it is hazardous to work with the live electricity, firstly shut off the power to the sink disposal. Generally, there are two types of disposals are available in the market. First is the plug- in cord type which you just need to unplug from the electrical outlet. Another one is directly connected to the power supply. For that simply trip the circuit breaker.

With the help of the screwdriver, now unscrew the screws and the nuts that are connecting the house wiring to the sink disposal. Next, take out the conduit from the disposal. There are some wires placed in the conduit. Cover each individual wire inside the conduit with the plastic nuts.

To hold some of the nasty water, place a bucket under the disposal and all other plumbing connections. Next, your dishwasher is connected to the disposal with the help of the hose clamp. Just unscrew the screws holding the clamp and remove the dishwasher as well.

Dis- join the discharge pipe of the disposal and the drain pipe of the house. It is better to use pair of channel lock pliers that are suitably used for this purpose.

Next step is to separate the disposal from the sink drain. Generally, the disposal is mounted with the snap ring under the sink drain. Just pry the ring and twist the disposal anti- clockwise. This will gradually separate the disposal from the mounting. Pull out the disposal and throw out all the accumulated garbage.

The mounting that was holding the disposal needs to be detached. For that, just unscrew the screws that are used to fix the mounting. Once the mounting is out, take out the washers also. At last, clean the plumber’s putty from the sink flange.
