Old garbage disposal replaced under the kitchen sink
HomeCloud replaced the old white garbage disposal with a new black garbage disposal under the kitchen sink.
Garbage disposal findings fall into three groups: wiring at the bottom of the unit that isn't secured, a disposal that's loud, and one that doesn't run at all.
The wiring is a safety fix. An unsecured wire under the sink can get snagged by things stored in the cabinet, and it's a shock risk.

What affects the price
- Jam or failure
- A jammed disposal can often be freed. A motor that has failed means a new disposal.
- Size and power
- Bigger, more powerful disposals cost more to replace.
- How it's wired
- A disposal that plugs into an outlet under the sink is quicker to swap than one wired in directly.
