Removing a waste disposal unit involves disconnecting it safely and properly from the sink and its electrical supply. Here's a concise guide based on the provided reference:
-
Twist the Mounting Ring: Locate the metal mounting ring (also sometimes referred to as a mounting assembly) at the top of the unit where it connects to the sink flange. Twist this ring clockwise to loosen the disposal unit.
-
Support the Unit: Before completely twisting off the ring, provide adequate support for the disposal unit from underneath. It will detach and can be heavy, so be prepared to lower it carefully.
By carefully twisting the mounting ring while supporting the unit, you can successfully remove your waste disposal.
