Any ideas?

Before I replace the disposal, I want to be sure the problem is there
and not in the drain itself.




We found any meat type stuff goes down there, in no time smells like a
rendering plant, so....

Run hot water thru, then stop with the water and pour straight bleach
in, turn off/let rest 10 minutes, then continue flushing with hot water.
Makes the sink odor go away!


I've tried that already.

The odor returns in just 48 hours.


Just take the thing apart and localize the problem, it might not even be the
disposal.

Short cuts usually only serve to prolong the agony and increase your costs.
