Well, when the wall switch that controls the disposer is 'off' there's
*no* electicity down there, anyway. A 'ground fault' -- that a GFCI
would catch -- is possible _only_ when the GD is powered.
What wall switch? Not every disposal has a wall switch. Mine is plugged
into
a receptacle under the cabinet and the stopper is magnetic and controls an
internal switch.
To the OP, it is better to keep the plug end if possible. Makes taking it
out easier. You can make a very short cord to extend it if needed.
Thanks. I'm going to do that. I just got the box screwed up with the
romex connector firmly attached. The working conditions are tight,
otherwise I wouldn't be taking a break..lol.
============
Without a real switch on the unit you may want to unplug the beast when
you have to get your hand down it's throat and pull out some string to
untangle the jam in there.
