As a fellow DIYer I absolutely love this concept! Good fix good concept. Except I only believe this would work if you're a single man. Because in a household of six that I have, there's no way my wife would let my sink be an inoperable for two to three days. I would be a dead man! Good job though. So to me the time of not having a disposal wouldn't be worth it.
I used a water proof silicone to seal the hole and make the new gasket. Works fine. The unit isn't under pressure, so a simple silicone seal works fine. Took about 2 hours, most of which was just waiting for it to dry out
@@t0ptircasua122 did the silicone hold up?
@@Joanna-iy6xd it did. Worked for about 2 months and then I replaced the sink and counters. Decided to just replace the disposal at the same time too. So I can confirm it worked for at least 2 months
You are a genius sir, thank you for sharing. Saved me $140.
I love this. This is the first video I've found that tells you what to use to re-seal the disposal after opening it. Every other tutorial tells you to replace the unit.
This is an Awesome "Save" if You Have the access to the jb n stuff , not Everyone can whip out 150-200$ for new, Yet 20$ an some Elbow an can Stall the larger bill. I Myself will Never have one , yet find myself repairing/replacing them for others.
Awesome Input , Thank You ! !
🤘🐢🤘
Thank you. Im gonna do this with mine, much appreciated, 👍❤️🇮🇪
Do it right, mine still works 2024 good luck and cheers!
Your channel is awesome! Just fixed my disposal and a battery that died all in one channel that has just a few vids!
This just happened to my badger 1 garbage disposal. About to try this method thank you.
Great tips and appreciate the quick instruction. No reason to toss an otherwise functional piece of equipment in a landfill if you can easily repair it
Awesome man.. I'm going to try it..... I woke up today thinking that I would have to spend the money and purchase a new one... but there is a hope to fix this :)
Thanks for the video
youre welcome. let me know how it goes
This is awesome! I had the exact same issue and fixed it the exact same way. It was a little struggle not having the sink available for 24hrs in a household of 4 but we managed and best part of all is we saved a bunch of money. We’ll see how long this will last!
Your intro music, blew my mind and my eardrums
Amazing work thanks for sharing
Its a shame that InSinkerator don't supply any internal spare parts. Anyway, the leak rarely come from that joint. it is normally from the seal underneath the circular plate. The UK government are passing a law making all manufacturers to supply spares for 10 years.
Not for long, waste time.. But 👍 good video. Thanks
still works 2024 , cheers
Freaking brilliant.
Hell of a job!
Just buy a brand new one and install it.
I did and it’s leaking
@@kimber45ish if you did and is still leaking check all the pipes and connectors!! I’m engineering i work on this for very long time. So just make sure that you putting everything correctly.
I agree buy and install a new one
Lol dawg 🤣
What JB Weld product did you use? JB Weld makes a ton of products!
Nice fix! No wire clamp to the disposal hole? Potential hazard of the wire sheeting getting cut due to disposal operation vibration or persons bumping into the wire moving things in and out underneath the sink cabinet.
Mine just started to leak, it's a badger 100, hopefully it's the same process to disassemble as yours.
Second time I've had this problem same brand Last insinuator I get and this was a factory replacement the seals under the chopper also goes out.
Awesome job bud! Video and details are great! Mine is doing the very same thing. I think I may just one at Costco. Its $79 right now. I just hope the plumbing lines up. Again, great video though!
just swap it out....very easy. Just bought a badger 100 to change out my badger 1 (old one from 14 years ago) and it took me 30 minutes or so...you don't even need to change the top drain if that's still solid. I saved that part as a spare should I need it and that is simple too...just use plumber's putty and tighten down if needed. Otherwise, only the disposal itself if needed and all hookups should match perfectly. These things haven't changed in years Good luck
@@mpasaaawesome and thank u we’ll see how it goes! .
Great video. Next time lower the music. Thanks
Good tip BUT for $90 just replace with identical of updated model. I just swapped out my 14 year old badger 1 with a badger 100 from HD. You can probably even get these on sale elsewhere too. Process was simply and I didn't even need to change out the drain portion since that is rock solid and not in need of replacement but even with that...very simple. Our disposal was also leaking from rust and I guess if you really don't have the cash this is good....otherwise I would recommend buying new. Why risk leaking or worse from a unit that has likely reached EOL....
lol, those things costs around 200U$ in my country
Great diy fix video! My garbage disposal is leaking from the bottom AND its clogged. Same fix?
The clogged probabbly from the blade which is not cutting. try to remove tube the garbage stucked there then fix the leak. my garbage disposal is stll working until now with out a problem.
Just weld can crack. And really how long would it last for?
I'm about to try this with mine and I wanted to know has yours started leaking again since you fixed it
Still works until now.
Which gasket maker did you use please? Thank you
Also, how long did it last once you patched it up? I want to know if it’s worth trying. Because for a couple more months, I’ll probably just replace it. Thank you!!
Gasket maker is from your local car parts store. and yes still works until now definitely worth it
I just used Rustoleum leak seal because I somehow missed your gasket stuff, so just lined the top-half lower-inside with the rubber and quickly put it together.
Impressed and hoping it still works for a while to come.
I think I Leak seal would work the same as gasket if you put a little on the side. Hope everything is works, let me know the update
@@creativepinoy2180 working so far!
what kind of jb weld did you use ?
you can use the original one “steel reinsforced epoxy.
@@creativepinoy2180 thank you
How long did this fix last?
There is one guy ask me about this and he just used leaked seal and it works. Repair probably around 30 min. not including the drying time
Just replace it. Not worth the headache
Installing a new one takes ten minutes and cost under $100... interest to know but never going to do
So what’s a jb weld?
JB weld is epoxy adhesive, ask your local hardware and it’s only cost $5-6.00
How is that disposal doing a year later?
Still works until now.. ill do some update
Where I can find the rustleakseal
On your local hardware store. Lowes or Home Depot
Buy new disposal for 100 bucks
Done !
I don’t fix my underwear when they get a hole in them
New is better
What's the point of the LOUD 🔊🔊 INTRO
Just buy a new one. This looks like a waste of time. Only 100$
Didn't show the the beginning of the wire disconnect
I would rather buy a new one..its just 100 bucks rather than going through all this process..
Go get a new one and be done in about a hour
nah nah.. still works 2024 cheers

Let's say you have a minimum wage job--you just saved yourself like $20 over the cost of a new one and JB Weld will neither adhere to the rust nor stop it from continuing to destroy the plate.
it is working till this day. you need to clean the surface.
Pretty impressive. Not very practical. If it’s out of warranty, better off replacing.
You'd be crazy to reinstall a repaird garbage disposal. 75% of the job is the labor for removal/reinstall. For $100 bucks you might as well install a new one. You are only going to save a few bucks with the repaired one......and then you still have an old disposal that is going to fail for some other reason. This is a bad idea!
Your local hardware store will not install the disposer for free, but If you like the buy new one you can follow this steps too. It’s actually very easy.. for $10-15. What labor? it’s called diy.
@@creativepinoy2180 I think he missed the point
DIY labor is free Greg. Did you see a professional plumber in the video?
@@rickjames6948 Your time still has value, its just that you don't pay yourself, but that time could have been spent at your real job, pursuing hobbies or anything. No one's time is free.....EVER.
hey man. if you can diy then it could be worth it. I agree it is a bit of work but it works
Maybe run the video just a bit slower.Some of us are not Speed Readers. 😂
I know this is a little too late because i lost my account. Just go to settings-playback video- play slower as you like. cheers
a little too fast bro
