    Very Helpful. Mine appears to be leaking from a couple places at the bottom of the unit, so once I confirm that the water isn't trickling down from somewhere else I plan to just replace the unit. This saved me the frustration of finding that out after hours of digging into it. Thanks a bunch!

      Last week, I was grinding chicken bones, but apparently my 2004 vintage “Evergrind” (brand) 6.9 amp 1/2 hp garbage disposal couldn’t take it as it made weird noises. But the noises simmered down. Then a little later, my “Watchdog“ (brand) water alarm went off alerting me that my disposer was leaking. It was leaking at the bottom. I could not find any leaks originating higher up at any of those other areas(connections to dishwasher hose/sewer pipe/sink). So I guess I’m going to have to get a new one, this time one with higher amperage and higher horsepower.

      DIY With Michael Borders Because of your video, I saved $275 which would be the total for a new badger 5 and labor. I learned to fix it myself. I replaced the sink ring assembly which caused only $15 and plumber putty for $3. Thank so much for your helpful videos

    Thanks for the video. The only place you missed is where mine is leaking. What about just below the last one you touched on? Mine is leaking from the lower pipe from the disposal that attaches to the white u-shaped pipe. Any recommendations?

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders
      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  8 років тому +1

      Thanks for checking out the video. My recommendation is to thoroughly inspect the white plumbing pipe to verify there are no cracks. If Pipe is good, I recommend heading to you're local hardware store and purchase Plumbing Pipe Sealant. Ask the sale man at the store and he/she will get you the right product. Then disconnect the two pipes and rub the inside rim of each pipe to apply the sealant.

    Mine is leaking where the bottom of the discharge tube connects to the pipe. The cheap tube that came with it had no threads to connect to a pipe, and their instructions were useless. How do you fix that? Thnx.

    So I just installed a brand new disposal 2 days ago and it is leaking from the upper gasket area, actually it looks more like its leaking from the mounting bracket only on the back side. The gasket itself had more than enough putty to seal it. any suggestions?

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders
      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  5 років тому +1

      Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. It’s very possible that your mounting brace is slightly loose or offset.
      We recommend spending a few minutes & removing your disposal completely. Next, verify brace is installed & aligned properly. Reinstall disposal & check for leaks....if it’s still leaking, you may need to redo the putty seal process. Keep us posted!

    replaced garbage disposal but black tube by tread connection point leaks. Replaced the rubber seal , but still leaking.

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders
      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  2 роки тому

      Thanks for watching, great idea replacing seal. It may be ever-so-slightly over-tightened.
      When fitting is over-tightened, the seal can shift under compression, not allowing it to create water-tight seal.
      Keep us posted. 👍

      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  7 років тому +2

      Dan Duran Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment and experience Dan. Just to make sure we are on the same page, did you replace your old unit with a Brand New unit?
      If yes, double check every connection point as well as make sure the gaskets are properly aligned when tightened down.
      Do you see any form of condensation forming anywhere under the sink?

    No hardware store near me sells the gasket you mention at 1:30. Where can I get one online? NO one gives the terminology for these things, so I can't find it.

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders
      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  7 років тому +2

      Rilian7 Thanks for checking out the video....the rubber gasket can be purchased online or a more Plumbing related store might have it. I'd check your local plumbing stores/Appliances stores as well. Subscribe to the channel that would be awesome thanks again 😀👍

    • @robkunkel8833
      @robkunkel8833 2 роки тому +1

      It helped but it didn’t solve a hole in a flexible gasket at the bottom. If people need the terminology, I found that is called a “KitchenAid Garbage Disposer Bracket & Flange ... OEM Part - Manufacturer #W10352995.” Living in the Virgin Islands, we don’t have stores described.

      Janice Giordano Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience Janice! Just to verify, you have your splash guard installed correct?...The Black rubber insert that lays at bottom of sink...? A missing Splash Guard is main cause of splashing water from top.

      Thanks for watching & it’s best to replace it if it’s leaking on bottom. It will require some unfriendly rebuilding. We purchased a new insinkerator. Below is a link to our review as well as installing it.
