    Dude, you have no idea how helpful your video is. Fast-rewind to right before Halloween. I bought a dish rack for over the sink, and I started to do dishes with a passion. Ten minutes later I see a yellow stream of water running out from under the sink. It wasn't a pipe or two. The whole connect into the disposal had rotted out. Fast forward to me finding your video, and I didn't call the plumber .. instead I went to Lowe's and bought at Garbage Disposal (With a power cord!) a bunch of p-traps and gaskets ... and I had the thing fixed! I didn't even know how to take out a garbage disposal before looking at your video. Keep making good videos man.

    I currently have a jammed 1/2 HP Waste King garbage disposal that hums for 5 seconds or so and trips the red reset button. I know most disposals have the opening underneath to “unclog” disposals but this brand does not have that. Any other suggestions before I buy a new one? Thanks

  • @ArchaicAnglist

    ​@@champ6295"Clog" generally means something in a drain that won't let water through. What you're dealing with is a jam. The Waste King website's support page has FAQs on diagnosing and dealing with disposal jams, or you could locate the model number on your disposal and do something like one of the following web searches: jammed waste king disposal __ clear jam waste king ____ troubleshoot disposal waste king ____ where the blank is filled with your unit's model number. Including the model number on a search like this is always a good idea: fifty years ago, one standard tool for dislodging a disposal jam was a two-foot length of wooden broom handle, applied with some force to make the stuck flywheel turn, but newer models may demand a less unsubtle approach.

    10 out of 10 stars. I chose the 1/2 hp Waste King...followed your instructions step by step, perfect, thank you, took me about an hour. I had to cut a bit (1.5") off of the new drain pipe coming out of the new disposal so it would fit in the sink drain pipe, but beyond that, no issues, thanks again🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

    AWESOME, AWESOME detailed video DIY! Best tip and most important tip about the placement of the rubber ring in the groove for installing the disposal to the sink drain pipe. Well, and having something for the unit to rest on when de-installing, and installing the new unit. Also, shout out to the awesome customer support by MOEN \ Waste King. I had this unit installed for 6 years and it began to leak from the bottom of the disposal. They replaced it, no problem. Great unit!! Don't go cheaper on other manufactures of less than 1hp. Spend the extra money.
