I'm curious as tot he reason. Anything different wit your water? Is the
pH
near neutral?
Anyone can have one go bad, but three is a bit much. Seems to me, if
everyone being made leaked after a year or so there would be a major
outcry
from the dealers. I just have to wonder is something changed in your
water
or system to invite corrosion for some reason. Could it be acting like
the
anode in the water heater?


I am having the same problem. I'm fed up!


After owning several Insinkerators with short life times, I bought a
Kitchenaid for twice the price. I installed it many years ago and it has
been 100% reliable since day one. It is made way sturdier and more durable
than the Insinkerator IMHO.

IDK about the KA ones, but I went through a couple of the Insinkerators.
They lasted maybe 5 years. One the thermal fuse went out for no reason.
Replacement one was totally different design, which means they likely
figured out it was a bad design. But the final early failure on both
of them was they started leaking. I opted for an electric kettle.
