@@todddumann9210 Aloha ! Thank you for the kind words! So happy to know Uncle was helpful to you. Have a wonderful New Year! Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you for the video! Made the removal and installation so much easier. Loved the tips on using the needle nose to loosen and channel locks to tighten. Great views on how to align the disposal to re-attach. You rock!
Great tip (using a needle nose pliers to pry the ring loose) on removing the old disposal!!! I was really struggling with it until I viewed your video. Thanks, Uncle Jr.
Excellent video . God bless you. I just finished installing my insinkerator badger 5XL. Without your video it would have been a big fail. Thank you for sharing your experience
Great job explaining the entire process!!! I am confident I can do this after watching your video. A lot of good pointers in the entire process that other videos about this didn’t seem to cover.
Thank you so much for your comment. If there is something that you would like to fix and need advice or guidance , please let me know and Uncle will do a video to help you. Aloha!
@@unclejrsdiy Thanks! I got the disposal installed. Only issue I ran into was a leak because I didn’t pay attention to keeping the mounting plate screws even with each other. So I torqued them evenly and the leak went away. Thanks again for such a great how to demo!!!
You made the swap out for my garbage disposal so easy brother, no wonder everyone loves Hawaiians you rock, baby, thank you! From Roger Rionda living in the 9th island, Las Vegas 🙂
Mahalo uncle!! My landlord doesn't want to replace or send someone to fix my disposal so i found your video and just installed one all by myself!! I never knew that there was a powercord let alone an entire outlet at the bottom of my sink 😅😅!! I truly appreciate you for sharing your knowledge!! I hope you have a blessed day!!
Uncle so happy to know I could be of help. Uncle is a licensed Real Estate Agent and it’s your right to have your landlord or Realtor to repair the broken disposal. Unless you broke it intentionally than you have to pay for the repair. However, if it’s a matter of Wear and Tear due to aging, than the owner or realtor should be responsible. Hope that helps. Mahalo and Aloha my friend!
Thank you so much; I didn’t know there was a reset button on the bottom of the garbage disposal. I paused the video and and got a flashlight and found the reset button then hit the switch and it’s working again. Thank you 😊
Uncle Proud of your attitude! If broken , just fix’um! Always do your research and have all the knowledge prepared. You get’um!!! Mahalo and Aloha for your Support!!
Good job👍🏽I learned something new. You made it so easy to follow. Nice meeting you at Home Depot. I know you’re going to a have a lot of followers soon. Can’t wait to watch part 2 on cabinets.
Thank sir, you just save me a lot of money and time, my garburator just give up and I was shopping online for a better one, then i found your video and did as you suggested with the alen key and reset the red switch and BINGO, it is good for an other five years, THANKS SIR.
I have watched five videos. After watching this video I'm ready to replace my disposal by myself. It's a big thing because a lot of people think that I don't know which end of a screwdriver to hold.😃
HI Jerwin! Thank you so much for watching my video. So glad it was helpful and informative . Feel free to let Uncle know if you need help with any DIY projects. Aloha!
Thank you! I just could not get the lower mounting ring to "simply click into place" as so many videos show. It still took a lot of effort for me but the channel locks did the trick!
Is this the new Lift & Latch setup? Total bs on the part of Insinkerator, I've done over one hundred of these over the years, the lower ring didn't spin, thought it was built on a Friday before a three day weekend, and inspector 12 was asleep at the wheel. Tried using the lower ring from the old disposer, but it won't fit. Had the drain assembly already installed with silicone. Took the disposer back to the Depot to exchange it for a new one. The guy at the return desk told me to get a new one. Grabbed another one and opened the box to check the rotation of the lower ring and take out the drain assembly and put in the box of the unit I just returned. WTF, the ring doesn't spin on this one either. Go grab another one, same thing. So, I decide to read the instruction sheet, same old same, except for the very end about lifting the disposer with two hands and twisting it in place and then locking it place with the wrench. Well it's getting late the customer needs his sink back and I don't have time to go to Lowe's to get the same Badger 500 I put in for some one two weeks earlier. So I grab the second box I opened and go to have another try at mounting the disposer. I lift the disposer using two hands to twist it place till it locks. Try to turn the disposal so it aligns with the drain trap, but the lower ring starts turning as well, I've applied plumbers silicone grease to the gasket like I always do so I can turn the disposer to the position I want. I make an index mark on the bottom of the sink were I want the lower disposer ring to be, remove the disposer for the third time, loosen the three screws on the drain assembly, rotate the upper ring to where I want it to be, re-tighten the screws, and for the final time I 'Lift & Latch' the disposer in place so it aligns with the drain. Thank you to the idiot at Insinkerator for making this job so 'much easier'. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yes all standard sink openings are the same. However I did experience seeing a larger disposal and sink drain in a commercial establishment. I have never tho , installed one.
Hi James any hardware store in the electrical department. Just ask for a salesperson and he can show you the different sizes. Hope this helps. Aloha James! Stay Safe!
Help! I did everything so far but when I went to plugging in after installing it run instantly without me even hitting the wall switch. What do you think the issue is?
HI Andrea, so sorry for the late reply. I have been rehabbing and injury to my hand. But make sure the wires going to the disposal are wired correctly. Whites go together , black go together and most importantly make sure you attach the ground wire. Hope this helps.
WTH? I was getting ready to replace an insinkerator with another one. Bought everything. Right before I started, I decided to watch another video. I grabbed the allen wrench that came with the new one and spun the old disposal around a few times after rinse you do it, and now it works.
1- Take some pride in your work and install the basket with the brand stamp aligned in the sink. Insinkerator would appreciate that. 2- Wire nuts do not need to be "taped". Only unskilled people do that. 3- The tailpipe is designed to be tightened, not hand tight. The shoulder on the disposal prevents distortion of the washer. 4- Garbage disposals are not allowed to be hard-wired. You should have put a "whip" on the disposal and installed an electrical outlet in the sink base to plug it in. I lived in Hawaii for 10 years and that is code. 5- It's called an Allen wrench. 6- If you turn off the breaker and confirm there's no power, taping off the wires to prevent "accidental" shock is stupid. 7- Love watching locals trying to be all akamai......
That’s great, but! My problem is that the metal ring that sits on top of the garbage disposal unit, is not fixed to the garbage disposal unit, it just comes off. So how do you attach that top ring onto the garbage disposal unit, before you attach the garbage disposal unit onto the bracket that’s attached to the sink? I’ve watched about 10 installation videos and not one single person explains how to do that. If I tried to attach the garbage disposal unit with the ring the way it is now, the unit would just fall off, because that ring is not holding it up. You guys, you all try to make it look so easy, but you don’t give us every single step of the way and you don’t explain the potential problems you could have, and how to fix them. Not even the official insinkerator installation video shows us what to do if the ring is not attached to the unit itself. You’re all driving me flipping nuts.
Yo bro I’m dealing with this right now new issues as I’ve installed 100 of them already I have no clue I’ve tried hammering the fucker in place idk might be factory defect
@@AfricanFlightStar sorry for the late reply, however if that ring is not secured to the disposal, easy solution, Return It! That ring should be locked into the disposal permanently. If not, it’s defective. Don’t bother with it and return it.
Hi Tam Thank you for watching my video. Yes, on most of the locking ring it is hard to unlock or even locking the ring in place. My best advice is first be very careful you don't hit your hand while trying to remove the ring. Try and use something long that gives you leverage to unlock the ring. Hope this helps. If not, lmk and Uncle will do I video just for you. Aloha!

When you install the top ring in the sink, you should position the ring so you can read the words on the ring. It looks more professional.
Exactly what I did . I also removed the identification tag to stick it to the waste disposal so it can be seen .I added also the date of installation
