How difficult is it to replace a garbage disposal?

Best answer: Offer a role-play special. Scenario - plumber gets ravaged by lonely housewife, while swapping out the disposal unit.

If its leaking replace if not may be stuck , look for Z wench ( maybe taped on side) also check reset on bottom
With wench see if it moves , free it, reset button , check house breaker ,

Depends, but usually a nightmare.

It's really not difficult to replace one. Read the instructions. Watch the self-help videos on the web. Then, disconnect the drain pipe, dishwasher hose & electrical cord (many are just plugged in to an outlet). Unscrew the collar on the bottom of the sink with the Z wrench and catch it. Reverse the procedure to install the new one. You do not need to replace the mount. Takes about 30m-1hr, depending on how many beers you drink between start and finish.

Or, collect the donation. Show him the kitchen. Wait till his hands are full of disposal. And....

Is my penis out during the process or after? What kind of fetish are we talking about?

Watch out for the roto-rooter.

In Debbie Does Dishes the plumber is laying on his back working under the sink and gets a BJ. But being a comedy it follows that he's startled, tries to sit up and knocks himself out cold on the underside of a kitchen sink.

PM if you need a hand.

Awkward is more the word.

Dishwasher plug important point, as well as making sure it’s not just jammed.

Thank you for all of the advice, and also the PM's.

And I have a confession to make. I still haven't fixed the issue.

Been busy with life stuff and work stuff and well, been ignoring that side of the sink and making do.

But I need to get this done.

My apologies for not answering this topic in awhile.

Although the Dallas Sandbox is one of my favorite Eccie forums, it always seems to be one of the last ones that I check.

Merry Christmas!!! (Can you tell? I'm trying to get into the holiday spirit!!! Help me to do so!!! lol)

Extremely easy. You have one of your employees call a plumber and have The same employees meet him at your place to get it done. Then have the employee give him your AmEx when he’s done. If there’s a problem, have them call you. Took me about a minute to do last year.

Just helped my mom fix hers last night. It was decently easy! It was only a repair, so to replace it I would estimate about 2-3 hrs. Make sure you have a basic tool set, screwdriver mainly. Watch a few vids and go to the company website to see if you even HAVE to replace it, you may just have a piece that needs to be replaced. Which they sell on their website or amazon has one day shipping. Good luck!!

As long as your old garbage disposal has an actual plug going into a wall socket, then it should be easy. If some goofball hardwired the power for it, then you need professional help.

I'm mechanically declined, but changing out the garbage disposal is a job I've done in my home.
