I would take it apart and look. You should have a lot more than 6 years

Thanks for your reply. SWMBO was on my case because we couldn't use
the dishwasher. So, when I didn't get an answer here and then found a
website that said if a disposal began leaking internally it was a
goner, I bought another this morning and have already installed it.


OK I can understand keeping SWMBO happy, but have you taken the old one
apart to see why it was leaking? I have never taken one apart but your
photo did not suggest that the unit died of corosion.
