No, I really prefer to NOT have a switch. I have the batch feed model now.

Hi.
My 3/4 hp GE sink disposal just died.
If it's not too difficult of a task I'd like to replace it myself (let me
know).
The unit is the kind without a wall switch, you place a drain cover/lid
into
the sink notch and press it down to operate.

I'm thinking the hardest part is removing the old unit, and the hardest
part
of that is disconnecting the unit from the sink.

Any thoughts/suggestions on degree of difficulty and anything I should
watch
for? I'm relatively handy around the house.

Thanks,
Walter


Not difficult at all. For the inexperienced maybe an hour. It is an
extra step if there is another sink or dishwasher that drains into the
disposal. The switch installation might take an extra hour depending
where you want the switch. I recommend putting the switch in a
convenient location to operate the disposal, not necessarily
convenient to install. Double check that the circuit is OFF before
starting the task.
