Play Kitchens For Toddlers

Jim S:

First unplug the old unit. It it’s hardwired, turn off the breaker or remove the fuse. Disconnect the drain line under the sink. If your dishwasher drains into the garbage disposal, disconnect that line, too. Now, get under the sink and remove the disposal by turning the whole assembly counterclockwise (lefty loosey) until it comes off. It’s HEAVY in that position so be careful. You have to decide whether to replace the mounting bracket or not. I didn’t on my last replacement. Now, if your dishwasher drains into the disposal you have to knock out the plug in the hole designed for it. You can do this with a hammer and punch or hammer and screwdriver. Remove the cover where the wiring connects to your old disposal and disconnect the wires. Remove the cover on your new unit and connect them the same way. From this point, reverse the directions above and you’re done. Good luck.
