My garbage disposal is leaking and I guess it needs to be replaced.

My concern is: Do I need to replace it with a like brand or are all garbage
disposals interchangeable?

Thanks

Leaking is a rare failure for a GD. Usually the motor burns out or
they wear out. Might be a simple leak repair instead of a much
costlier replacement.

I replaced a lower quality ISE just last year.
At first it started leaking then it burned out.
When I took it out I saw that the leak was water running
right thru the unit and it's ultimate failure was
inevitable. I think this was a low end 333 model.

I replaced it with a 555. Much quieter and I think
it will prove more durable.
