Garbage disposal 'clamp nut' broke, is discontinued.

So which part is broken - 2005 or 2010? Only thing on that page for $5 was the gasket.

Locate a real appliance parts store. One that has counter help and see if they have aftermarket parts. Have the model number handy.

Start calling all the appliance parts stores in the yellow pages. We have a really good one near us that carries just about anything you're looking for. Even try some of the independent repair shops. MLD

If that fails, check local Habitat ReStore, for ripout disposals. May be one in the pile with the same clamp nut as yours, and their prices are dirt cheap.

...or if that doesn't work, they may have a complete old one that they'd want to unload for $cheap.

The only two things came to mind. One is large ammounts of silicone caulk, and two days for drying. Second thing came to mind, was something like leather around there, and then tighten with screw clamps.

Others suggestion is very good, to make a bunch of calls, to try to find parts still "out there".

Is appliance-parts-warehouse the only on-line source you tried?

I love my In-Sink-Erator Excel. It's so d*mn quiet that sometimes I forget it's on until I turn the water off. The removable drain baffle is designed to use the running water to muffle the sound almost completely.

A video and sound level comparison can be found here. I'll vouch for the sound level comparisons.

Try another supplier

Once you switch over to ISE....you'll have a standard disposal interface for as long as own the house.

The ISE three lug mounting system makes it a breeze to change up disposals.

I had an ISE fail...it was under warranty....an in-house service warranty. I had them ship me a new unit & installed it myself...easier than waiting for the repair guy.
