My garbage disposal is leaking water. Help?
"jim evans" wrote in message
news My garbage disposal is leaking water. Does anybody know what's happening? If so, is this something I can fix by taking the disposal apart or should I just go buy a new one? This is a picture of the bottom of my In-Sink-Erator garbage disposal. http://www.factsfacts.com/disposal-bottom.jpg The arrows indicate where water is dripping from. I replaced this unit about 5-6 years ago. jim ___ Have a home upkeep question? Try my help page. It's sort of an alt.home.repair FAQ. http://www.factsfacts.com/MyHomeRepair someone recently plugged the stainless grinding chamber insinkerator on this newsgroup, citing 10 years of service and still working, maybe you can get a few more years out of yours by repairing it (if it can be repaired) someone else mentioned consumer reports #8 pick is the kenmore 1/2 hp model 6011 [mfr. model 9912]...looking at its specs, it has an abs plastic grinding chamber and galvanized steel grind elements, and is on sale till 1-8-05 for $64.99 (regularly $69.99) the abs plastic sounds like a new design, have no idea how it stands up to stainless steel, the cheapie disposals used to have grind chambers made of some kind of cheap metal, maybe abs is better, have no idea how abs chambers (with galvanized blades) stands up to stainless steel like insinkerator, sears also makes more costly models with stainless grinding chambers and stainless grind elements (and more than 1/2 hp motors) for more data on sears stuff, go to http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/searc...=searchresults then click on the particular model and when that page opens you can also click on the "Product specs" tab for data on grinding chamber/blade material used |
