Thank you from a 63 yr old lady first time garbage disposal installer. You made it so safe and easy for me. I went through 5 videos before I got you that i could really get it..Appreciate it !!
I just installed my garbage disposal 1st time ever doing something like this and this video was completely the reason why I was able to make it happen and it works. Thank you so much for this video it was so helpful please continue to put out helpful videos like this for people like myself.
Three years later and this is still helping others! Most replacement vids don't bother replacing the mounting rings, so this was extra helpful (my old sink neck is all dinged up).
Bro... So, I had been searching forever for a freaking plug! Lol I was like ... How did they bury it behind the wall? Hahaha! I had no idea hardwired was a thing, and for this, I can't thank you enough! Step 1, done lol
I appreciate you making this video. I was going to hire a plumber to install my new garbage disposal but thought I should at least try to learn and do this myself. Your video is detailed and well explained. I feel informed and confident now to give it a try. Thank-you.
Hopefully you got it figured out,Best way to do it and save you a bundle,Ive been mechanically inclined all my life, the way i learned was when something broke in our home or one of our cars, my dad would tell me to give it a shot, if i messed it up it was already broken and we would call a repairman to come and fix it,very rarely did we have to do that and slowly i learned a lot. Reason I'm here is because Ive never done one of these with the piping routed this way and i wanted some pointers on how to deal with it,when you took that pipe off with the 2 screws thats what i was thinking of doing,i appreciate the tip, mine is also hardwired,the whole thing is almost identical to yours.
4yrs later, and still as relevant as ever. I have an "Evolution" model that looks (and installs) the same. Somehow went through life not realizing there's a manual crank (the included allen wrench), turns out I dont need to replace just yet.. Thanks!
I just want to thank you as a woman not knowledgeable of electrical wires & what not I never imagined that I could have done this but you helped me so much .!
Thanks for your help. So far my wife has turned me into an electrician, drywall, plumber, and the first time I ran a line for an ice maker. Did I forget painter? In just one month. Thank god for U tube!
My guy, people like you deserve an internet high 5. Just replaced my disposal with a 1/3 hp, and your easy to follow video saved me from mistakes and made it easy. Thanks for the video!
Just the video I need! I bought a GD with a pig tail but once I crawled under the sink, I discovered I need a hardwired type of disposal. My father installed a 3/4HP 444 In-Sink-Erator in June 2006. He was the family handy man to his 7 kids and always put a date on his completed projects. Greatly missed by all.
My landlord is nice, and so is his handy man, but they don't really seem to do a full job of anything. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this, so some of us can get things done ourselves. :)
So far this is probably the best video I have seen for doing a disposal. I thought the process was going to be more than what I could chew but it looks like something I can do. Thanks for the great video!
@TinkerForward follow up question, is there a way to tell if my current disposal is hardwired vs plugged in if I can't see where it is hooked into the power? A previous owner at some point updated the kitchen, but the power source for the disposal is behind the cabinets. Only way to access is to cut a hole in the back of the cabinet and follow the line. Any advice?
Great tutorial. Very concise, clear, and to the point. It walked me through the process with ease. The only hiccup is that InSinkErator has since changed their hardwiring setup. Instead of wiring it directly to the unit they now have a clip that you push the wires into & it locks in place then you plug it in the prongs inside the unit. It's a little tricky at first but InSinkErator has a nice 3D video that clearly shows how to properly make the connections making it a breeze. it took me (an amateur) about three hours from start to finish.
Thank you for taking the time to do this video, my garbage disposal motor died about a month ago. Today I changed it out with your help! The step by step instructions were great! The level of detail you provided was perfect-thank you!
I was watching this video to learn how to replace my garbage disposal, at 11:22 of the video, it saved me $200 bucks buying a new disposal! thank you so much!
I checked several You Tube videos on changing garbage disposals before finding Tinker's, which was much clearer and more complete than the others. The instructions that came with mine are so complicated, I couldn't have done it myself without this one.
As a field service engineer in high tech, this video is amazing in every steps and details from remove to install. Thank you! Going to install my 1st garbage disposal for GF!
Thank you for this detailed video! I looked at mine to replace it and didn't have a clue how I was going to connect the power since it goes through the wall. I did it and the new one is running perfectly!
I walked your video and gave me confidence to change out my disposal. Thank you! I think the hardest part was working in such a tight space. Props to people who do this for a living!
Thanks for this video Tinker. It was complete because other videos neglect the mounting bracket. I had to take apart my disposal because there was a leak under the mounting where the bracket connects to the sink. The challenge was the was so much old putty underneath and the cardboard gasket was wet. So far so good.
This really helped my granddaughter and her boyfriend have the confidence to try to do it themselves. Prior to finding your video, I had told her they could do it (and we would help) because I had done it before so ... what the heck! Let's go for it. Then we shared your video with them and they felt extra bolstered. I realized later this is 2 years old ... a few small changes with this model (notably how the electric hooks up) made us study the paperwork with it too. We appreciate the virtual handhold!!
Glad to hear the video was helpful! Great work doing this project yourselves! What an accomplishment for your granddaughter and her boyfriend! Thanks for watching!
This video just saved me from having to replace my entire garbage disposal- great to know there's a handy reset button and manual turn. Thanks for making this, I'll definitely come back to this channel for future repair needs! :)
Thank you so much for this!! I’ve been putting off replacing my garbage disposal for so long - I bought all the supplies and then realized it was hard wired and chickened out. But when I watched your video, I was like, “I can totally do that!” I followed along with your video the whole time and have a nice new, non-leaking, non-sticking disposal! Thank you!!
First video I found for replacing my old hardwired disposal (it's leaking from the bottom next to the reset button). No need to look further this is the one. Great job.
It took me a while to find a hot wired video. Yours is very informative and step by step. I did it myself and it didn't take long. You saved me a lot of money. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for a very instructional video, every step was clear and well explained, I was able to swapped mi garbage disposal in 45 minutes, wifey is very happy 😆
My disposal needed new seals today- the video helped. My disposal is older and LARGE- so I used my car floor jack to balance and lift it into place while I lined it up- much easier than struggling doing both.
Thanks I had trouble finding a hard wired installation video. I watched and referenced your video as I followed my manual and it made the installation a breeze.
Just wanted to shout you out for such a clear and easy to follow video!!! I Was super intimidated at first as a woman but I did it all in 1 hour. Feeling very empowered 🎉🎉
I have watched multiple vides on same subject. You are the only 1 who said not to pop out dishwasher plug. Other times they show hammer n pop out, some people maynot realize not to do that, or screw in flange to mu h 1st, or even remove rubber if not replacing old flange. Im having a hard time but you really really helped and I wanna Thank you very much!!
Thanks for the video. I had purchase a replacement garbage disposal but thanks to your video I was reminded of the reset button and the allen wrench key to move the blades. My garage disposal is working.
Thanks for this great video ! Two experiences I've learned from. 1. When my disposal started leaking I'm glad our dishwasher didn't go through it - then we couldn't have used the dish washer, or another flood! So bypass it if you can - or not. 2. I used a small portable car jack to support the very heavy disposal I had when removing, and for installing it. Hope these experiences have helped Thanks again for the ez to follow instructions !
Was just able to successfully swap out a new disposal thanks to this video. I appreciate that you took the time to show every step. It made me much more confident in doing it. The only thing I did differently was to hook up the wiring on the new one before mounting it. Was easier for me than doing it on my back. Thanks!
Nice job. Thanks for the instructions. I wasn't sure how to apply the plumbers putty, the written instructions were a bit vague. Seeing you perform the task on the video assured me of being able to properly perform the task.
Really like this video. You don't leave any steps out and even include your OOPS! I had purchased a new disposal already (my old one died) and now I feel like I'm ready to change it out! Thank you! (Tinkerbot at 15:43)
I finally with your help got that garbage disposal installed. I had a problem taking out the old flange because it was siliconed in. It was murder. I probably should have left it and saved some time but I thought, what to do with the new one? The job took me 3 days but now it's done and everything's new. No runs, no drips, no errors. Well, maybe an error or two. But it's plugged in and ready to rock!
Excellent. I went through several other videos before I found yours and I’m glad I kept looking. Some things I liked. You gave good instructions and you kept on topic. You cleaned the area before starting to work….nothing in the cupboard, clean sink. You gave good info on the wiring….something I was looking for. Good camera angles. Lots of great details. I’d give you a 10 for sure. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! I was getting ready to replace my disposal. I didnt know about the allen head of the bottom of them that you can turn to free it up and it turns out thats all mine needed!
Thank you so much for this! I am a visual learner, so to see what I needed to do was such a big help! I have an old home so the only problem I ran into was a difference in the drain pipe from the old one to the new one.

Thank you for the link to buy it as well as well done instruction. I installed a "new and improved" model at HD and it had this awful "EZ CONNECT" which was actually SUPER DIFFICULT and added 30 mins to install as the process was convoluted and didn't work at all. I turned it on to test and it literally BLEW UP. I saw a mini explosion and it died instantly. Buying your model now and will replace and return the other as soon as I get it.
you ask excellent teacher! Thank you so much for making this! You did such a good job explaining every detail that i feel confident. is that i can do this! and i was very intimidated with the electrical and reinstalling the base that holds it up…but now i’m not scared at all ! ❤️🙏🙏🙏
First off,thank you very much for this video! Our desposal locked up and we can't free it, so we have to replace it. You are so thorough during installation that I don't see how I can make a mistake. I'm also going to take a couple pictures. I'm a disables vet but still believe I can do this.
My’s disposal is leaking from the bottom so I’m gonna try to replace it using your instructions which is very clear! 🤞🏽 Will let you all know how it goes 🙏🏽
Thank You !!! for showing me that there's a RESET button on the bottom of garbage disposals. My disposal works great now! after pressing the reset button... :)
Thx a ton brother. I’ve done plenty of electrical work and a little plumbing; my only pain with installing new one was lifting up to the hooks. My back was killing me by then! 6’2” frame is no good for under sinks!!
Thanks I just watched once and remembered everything, mine started leaking from bottom and I managed to do it everything in 1 hour and 30 minutes, hardest part was to take out the power cord that was in there, lot of videos telling us to cut that metal piece but I drilled the rubber piece that was holding power cord and took out cable that way, glad I did that cause otherwise it would be hard to hardwire garbage disposal, I used all my existing pipes and fixtures just changed the same brand of garbage disposal, there are other garbage disposals as well but the insinkerator ones are the best
Awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching! Nice job! Be sure to check out my other home improvement DIY project videos for more great tips and tutorials in my playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PL-ejpb-NKxVB9WHvailtdmm5orGaQd6Qq
Thanks so much for your very detailed video. I just changed my 15 year old disposal thanks to your great instructions. The only problems I encountered were rusted and corroded screws that took a lot of time, patience and creativity to remove! Thanks again for the video.
I literally can't thank you enough for this detailed video. I watched several and yours was the only one that showed how to replace the flange. You also gave several tips for things that would have been points of frustration (e.g., how to get the little metal hooks to catch so you can rehang it) that no one else put in their videos. Changed it successfully without pulling my hair out, in large part thanks to you. Much appreciated!!!

Glad I could help!
Yes!! My house was built in 1968 and the disposal is hard wired. This video is helping me save a bunch of money. Thank you!
Thank you from a 63 yr old lady first time garbage disposal installer.

Agreed!
Three years later and this is still helping others! Most replacement vids don't bother replacing the mounting rings, so this was extra helpful (my old sink neck is all dinged up).
Incredible video. I’m legally blind, and pretty hesitant about home repairs, but I did it! Thanks for a great video!
Bro... So, I had been searching forever for a freaking plug! Lol I was like ... How did they bury it behind the wall? Hahaha! I had no idea hardwired was a thing, and for this, I can't thank you enough! Step 1, done lol
😂😂😂 Same I was looking Everywhere for the plug 😳😮😩 “ bury it behind the wall” 😂😂 I had to call and ask someone! Too funny
Robot @ 15:43. Slowly building confidence to try this job myself. Thank you.
My garbage disposal fried yesterday so I ordered a new one. This video gave me the confidence to try it myself, very thorough and helpful!
I appreciate you making this video. I was going to hire a plumber to install my new garbage disposal but thought I should at least try to learn and do this myself. Your video is detailed and well explained. I feel informed and confident now to give it a try. Thank-you.

I'm a mechanical moron but your step by step instructions saved the day.
Just followed your guide to replace my disposal. Probably saved myself a couple hundred dollars in labor costs thanks to you!
Thanks - I just replaced mine in
4yrs later, and still as relevant as ever.
I have an "Evolution" model that looks (and installs) the same.
Somehow went through life not realizing there's a manual crank (the included allen wrench), turns out I dont need to replace just yet.. Thanks!
I just want to thank you as a woman not knowledgeable of electrical wires & what not I never imagined that I could have done this but you helped me so much .!
Thanks for your help. So far my wife has turned me into an electrician, drywall, plumber, and the first time I ran a line for an ice maker. Did I forget painter? In just one month.

3 year old video that looks like its 15 years old but it is the best explained video Ive watch to installed the garbage disposal. thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great job on this video. Very clear. Now I just gotta figure out which circuit breaker my disposal is on.
I did it! 😊 Everything went great without a hitch. I am also a DIYer and this was perfect. Thank you so much for this vid.
That's awesome to hear! Thanks so much for watching!
I checked several You Tube videos on changing garbage disposals before finding Tinker's, which was much clearer and more complete than the others. The instructions that came with mine are so complicated, I couldn't have done it myself without this one.
Hey Larry, I'm glad the video was helpful! Thanks for your kid comments!

Thank you so much for a very instructional video, every step was clear and well explained, I was able to swapped mi garbage disposal in 45 minutes, wifey is very happy 😆
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Ordered one last night, arrived this morning and I installed it in under an hour all thanks to this video 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful!
I hate all plumbing projects, but it's a must.
Always difficult to fit my body under sink.
Great video instruction !
Thank you for this video! It took me about 2 hours, but I was able to replace my old one by myself while watching your video!
My disposal needed new seals today- the video helped. My disposal is older and LARGE- so I used my car floor jack to balance and lift it into place while I lined it up- much easier than struggling doing both.
Thanks I had trouble finding a hard wired installation video. I watched and referenced your video as I followed my manual and it made the installation a breeze.
That's awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful!
Just wanted to shout you out for such a clear and easy to follow video!!! I Was super intimidated at first as a woman but I did it all in 1 hour. Feeling very empowered 🎉🎉
Thank you so much! I managed to do it, saving us $300 thanks to your extremely informative and well-made video!
Glad it helped!
I have watched multiple vides on same subject.
You are the only 1 who said not to pop out dishwasher plug.
Other times they show hammer n pop out, some people maynot realize not to do that, or screw in flange to mu h 1st, or even remove rubber if not replacing old flange.
Im having a hard time but you really really helped and I wanna Thank you very much!!
Glad the video was helpful!
Thanks for the video. I had purchase a replacement garbage disposal but thanks to your video I was reminded of the reset button and the allen wrench key to move the blades. My garage disposal is working.
Thank you for a concise DIY tutorial. Saved me time and energy and $200+.
And I learned a couple things about plumbing
You're welcome!
Finally found a well articulated video. I just completed my installation. Thank you.
This video is super detailed and easy to follow. Appreciate it
OMG... I can't believe I did this... Took me all day, but it's disposing! Thank you man!!!
This video was extremely helpful! Literally step by step. We followed it moreso than the product instructions.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this great video ! Two experiences I've learned from.
1. When my disposal started leaking I'm glad our dishwasher didn't go through it - then we couldn't have used the dish washer, or another flood! So bypass it if you can - or not.
2. I used a small portable car jack to support the very heavy disposal I had when removing, and for installing it. Hope these experiences have helped
Thanks again for the ez to follow instructions !
Thanks for watching Gary! The carjack is a great idea! I'm glad you're able to install!
Just installed my new garbage disposal with your help! Great video my friend!!!
I was thankful for your installation..I have a hard wire installation and was wondering about the wires
Excellent video. Thank you. In depth enough for a beginner. Now have the conference to DIY and swap out my old disposal.
Awesome! I'm glad I could inspire you to DIY. Thanks for watching!
simple, very complete, and straightforward instruction without unnecessary jargon.. Love it!!! Thank you.
Thanks so much!
This video was awesome!!! It was a huge help and I was able to replace my garbage disposal with no issues. Thanks for putting this together!!!
You're welcome!
I've always said the most difficult thing about plumbing is where it is located. Your video is excellent!
Yep, it's a tight space! I found new ways to bend my body to get a good grip on different plumbing pieces!
Excellent video! The real test: when I get mine completed. Wish me luck.
Thanks for the video! I was able to replace my hard wired disposal with little problem. Great video!!
You're welcome!
First time replacing one of these! Mine was hard wired. Upgraded to the 3/4 HP. Saved me the installation cost! Works perfectly! Thank you!
I viewed your procedure as a refresher. Excellent presentation.
Thank you for your help. I just replaced my garbage disposal following your tutorial.
Was just able to successfully swap out a new disposal thanks to this video. I appreciate that you took the time to show every step. It made me much more confident in doing it. The only thing I did differently was to hook up the wiring on the new one before mounting it. Was easier for me than doing it on my back. Thanks!
That's awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful! Great job wiring it up and changing your disposal!
Thank you. I've watched 4-5 garbage disposal installation videos and this was the most detailed and easiest to follow one.
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful!
This video is spot on. First time doing a swap out and his advice was easy to follow.
Nice job. Thanks for the instructions. I wasn't sure how to apply the plumbers putty, the written instructions were a bit vague. Seeing you perform the task on the video assured me of being able to properly perform the task.
Really like this video. You don't leave any steps out and even include your OOPS! I had purchased a new disposal already (my old one died) and now I feel like I'm ready to change it out! Thank you! (Tinkerbot at 15:43)

Excellent. I went through several other videos before I found yours and I’m glad I kept looking. Some things I liked. You gave good instructions and you kept on topic. You cleaned the area before starting to work….nothing in the cupboard, clean sink. You gave good info on the wiring….something I was looking for. Good camera angles. Lots of great details. I’d give you a 10 for sure. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! I was getting ready to replace my disposal. I didnt know about the allen head of the bottom of them that you can turn to free it up and it turns out thats all mine needed!
Awesome! Glad you were able to fix yours!
Very helpful, will show this to my grandson to see if he can do it for me.
Just used this for a successful DIY installation. Thanks in particular for showing the rewiring.
Excellent! Glad the video was helpful! You're welcome! I find that its super satisfying when I'm doing DIY projects!
Thank you so much for this! I am a visual learner, so to see what I needed to do was such a big help! I have an old home so the only problem I ran into was a difference in the drain pipe from the old one to the new one.
Thank you for showing the electrical part, I can't wait to do this and impress my hubby lol
You can do it!
@@TinkerForward I did it and he was definitely impressed lol
Thank you for the video. I have the same exact disposer getting ready to install.
You're welcome!
Thank you for such a thorough step by step of this process!
You are so welcome!

Thank you, helpful. I will now attempt to remove the plug you pointed out in the new disposal, correcting what the installer forgot! Fingers crossed
You're welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful!

I installed a "new and improved" model at HD and it had this awful "EZ CONNECT" which was actually SUPER DIFFICULT and added 30 mins to install as the process was convoluted and didn't work at all. I turned it on to test and it literally BLEW UP. I saw a mini explosion and it died instantly. Buying your model now and will replace and return the other as soon as I get it.
you ask excellent teacher! Thank you so much for making this! You did such a good job explaining every detail that i feel confident. is that i can do this! and i was very intimidated with the electrical and reinstalling the base that holds it up…but now i’m not scared at all ! ❤️🙏🙏🙏
You're very welcome!
This was one of the best instruction videos I have watched. Thank You
Hey Michael, I'm glad to hear it! I hope the video was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
First off,thank you very much for this video! Our desposal locked up and we can't free it, so we have to replace it. You are so thorough during installation that I don't see how I can make a mistake. I'm also going to take a couple pictures. I'm a disables vet but still believe I can do this.
You are so welcome!
I'm a disabled Army vet too, it was a bitch to install but this video was helpful.
I'm so tired now lol, Chronic Pain/Fatigue syndrome sucks lol.
Video was perfect. most videos had plug in installation instructions.
Glad you liked it!
My’s disposal is leaking from the bottom so I’m gonna try to replace it using your instructions which is very clear! 🤞🏽 Will let you all know how it goes 🙏🏽
how did that go?
You Sir just saved me $500. Thank you for posting the video.
Awesome! You're welcome! Glad I could help!
Oh my goodness. I’ve been working on getting the unit to stay on with a twist for one hour now. Not sure how you make it look so easy.
Thank You !!! for showing me that there's a RESET button on the bottom of garbage disposals. My disposal works great now! after pressing the reset button... :)
Thx a ton brother. I’ve done plenty of electrical work and a little plumbing; my only pain with installing new one was lifting up to the hooks. My back was killing me by then! 6’2” frame is no good for under sinks!!
You're welcome! Yep not a lot of room under sinks!
This video was a life saver for me! My electrical comes through the wall as well.
That's great to hear the video was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks I just watched once and remembered everything, mine started leaking from bottom and I managed to do it everything in 1 hour and 30 minutes, hardest part was to take out the power cord that was in there, lot of videos telling us to cut that metal piece but I drilled the rubber piece that was holding power cord and took out cable that way, glad I did that cause otherwise it would be hard to hardwire garbage disposal, I used all my existing pipes and fixtures just changed the same brand of garbage disposal, there are other garbage disposals as well but the insinkerator ones are the best
Awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching! Nice job!

Thank you for the tutorial. Watching your video made the job easier.
Thanks so much for your very detailed video. I just changed my 15 year old disposal thanks to your great instructions. The only problems I encountered were rusted and corroded screws that took a lot of time, patience and creativity to remove! Thanks again for the video.
You are welcome!
I'm glad my video helped you change your disposal!
Good video. Replaced mine with no problems. thank you
I literally can't thank you enough for this detailed video. I watched several and yours was the only one that showed how to replace the flange. You also gave several tips for things that would have been points of frustration (e.g., how to get the little metal hooks to catch so you can rehang it) that no one else put in their videos. Changed it successfully without pulling my hair out, in large part thanks to you. Much appreciated!!!
That's awesome to hear! I'm glad the video was helpful! Way to go replacing your garbage disposal yourself! Thanks for watching!
Great instruction! If I can't get anyone to install this I can do it myself with this how to video!
This was great! Was able to replace our hardwired in 20 minutes!
