Why are you replacing a disposer that is still going great?

Kitchen Aid or In-sink-Erator have been good for me and others in my family. Just replaces one after abut 18 years in this house. In my old house it was

Well, it was going great until one of the sink drain lines developed a leak from corrosion. In the process of fixing that, the disposal got bumped around so that it was a little loose in the bottom of the sink, the putty was pretty much shot. I figured there was a good chance it would leak, so I wanted to remove it to re-putty it. The big diecast nut that holds the disposal to the sink drain wouldn't come loose. I finally put enough torque on it, but knew I was risking breaking it, which is what happened.

This situation is akin to cancer. Once it has eaten stuff up, the best thing is to pull the plug. You COULD fix it, but it wouldn't last long.

If you go to all the trouble to replace the cancerous parts, it would be prudent to just replace the disposal since you probably would be doing it soon anyway. Or you would be under there fixing leaks on a regular basis. Fix it once, fix it right.

Buy a good one, and sell the other at a yard sale.
