Garbage Disposal Replacement for Beginners(InSinkErator with EZ connect cord)
Things Even I Can Do: Episode 33 When my garbage disposal sprung a leak, I decided to try to replace it myself. More challenging than other projects I've tackled for videos, but in the end, we got it done. This is a long and detailed video designed for beginners. I tried to cover all of the little things that tripped me up when I was working on mine. I installed an InSinkErator Power 1HP unit with an EZ connect power set up with an angled discharge pipe. There are quite a few variations out there so if you have a different set-up this video might not match what you are dealing with.
