Quality Garbage Disposer Replacement Parts From Repair Clinic
Garbage disposers (or disposals) are designed to grind solid food waste into particles small enough to be washed down
the drain. To do this, the unit is installed between the kitchen sink drain and the drainpipe which sends water and
debris to the outside of the home.
Standard disposers are usually hard-wired to a wall switch near the
sink whereas “batch feed” disposers have a start switch that is activated by a stopper attached to the
top of the unit. When the switch is actuated, 120 volts of alternating current flows to the disposer motor. The
motor rotates a grinding or shredder, plate to break down the food waste. A steady stream of cold water should be
running through the disposer for this process to work effectively. Disposers use a splash
guard attached to the top of the unit or positioned in the sink drain opening to prevent water from
being slung upwards during operation.
Whether you prefer the term “disposer” or
“disposal”, Repair Clinic carries all the appliance parts you need to fix or
maintain the unit, from splash guards and flange
gaskets to stoppers,
start
switches, safety
switches, and shredder plates. Just type the full model number of the appliance in the Repair Clinic website
search bar to see a complete list of compatible parts. You can then use the part category and part title filters to
narrow that list down to the specific part you need. While Repair Clinic stocks garbage disposer parts for all the
top brands including Kenmore, Frigidaire, GE, Whirlpool, Insinkerator, Sinkmaster,
Moen, Waste
King, and Whirlaway,
it’s important you select the part that is a direct match with your model.
