But we used to go to a lot of kitchens and see a broken broom handle on one side of the kitchen.
Youtube how to remove a garbage disposal series#
About ten years ago the company put out a series of books about how to clear disposal and I was always wondering how this would happen. What you gonna want to do is take it, and insert it on top and clear the obstruction by moving it around clockwise or counter clockwise. And the basin wrench would fit inside your disposal from the top of the sink, down and its a couple of places inside it can grab onto. The basin wrench is telescoping, it goes in and out.
If your disposal spins around like that perfectly, it doesn't, you don't feel anything it's gonna work just fine. Next tool we have is an allen wrench that comes with most disposers, this brand actually send an allen wrench with it and it simply sits in the bottom and it spins around, again making sure it keeps the power off. A little warning make sure the power is off to the disposal, if you have a switch make sure the switch is down and not up.What would happen if you had power on and inserted this, is that you spin it around, it's gonna kick on automatically and it's gonna take this thing for a ride with you on it. And what happens is, you take it and insert it at the bottom of the disposal, this can allow you to turn the disposal left and right. First, is most people have this allen wrench, and the size usually comes in variable sizes,this one happens to be a quarter inch allen wrench. Now that reset button is the circuit breaker, so if you ever have a disposal, that you flip the switch and it does nothing, reset that first.So let me show you an example of what i mean about clearing a disposal block. Take a look at this right here, have you ever had the disposal, flip the switch and doesn't turn on at all? There is a tiny red reset button, right there. It's very difficult to see, because this is the view you normally see if you look into your sink basin. First and foremost, this is the part you cannot see because it's going to be upside down in your sink. Clearing your disposal, so for this example we have one actually not wired not installed.I'm gonna show you a couple of things you need to know about your disposal. I'll be talking to you today about plumbing. If you need service today we're the business to call. The saying looks can be deceiving rings true for garbage disposals. Once dislodged, take the disposal and place it on either a towel or some old paper to avoid a mess. Take hold of these lugs, twisting the ring counterclockwise roughly 1.5 inches. This will be at the top of your disposal. Winters Company offers plumbing, heating, cooling. Under the sink, locate a thin metal ring with three lugs.

Learning how to do a few simple home plumbing repairs can save you a ton of money. To clean the screw hole, put some lubricant into the hole to help remove the remaining corrosion.Watch more How to Make Plumbing Repairs videos: Repeat this process until you are able to remove the screw from its place.īefore you put a new screw into the hole make sure the screw hole is clean. After putting lubricant into the screw hole, tap the screw once more before you attempt to loosen it. You may also add a little more lubricant into screw hole. If the screw does not budge on your first try, tap the head of the screw to help loosen up the corrosion. Once the corrosion on the screw has softened, try to remove the screw with the use of a screwdriver. While apply the lubricant into the screw hole, tap the head of the screw to help the lubricant reach deeper into the hole. If your screw is badly corroded, you will need to apply some lubricant to help soften the corrosion. Step 4 – Put Lubricant into the Screw Hole Remember that your goal here is to remove the screw and not to push the screw deeper into its place. Just make sure that you do not tap so hard that you end up driving the screw deeper into its hole. If your screw is badly corroded, you may need to use a hammer to tap the screw harder. Tapping the head of the screw will help the anti corrosive solution deep into the screw hole and loosen some of the rust that binds the screw. Using the handle of your screwdriver, tap the head of the head of the screw. The lemon and the hydrogen peroxide may not release the screw, but it will soften the corrosion around the screw so that it will be easier for you to remove the screw later on. The anti corrosive elements in the lemon and the hydrogen peroxide works better if you soak the screw hole overnight. Let the lemon or hydrogen peroxide soak the screw hole. To help dissolve the corrosion that binds the screw into its hole, pour some lemon or hydrogen peroxide on the screw hole. Step 2 – Put Lemon or Hydrogen Peroxide into the Screw Hole
