KitchenAid Garbage Disposer Mounting Bracket Screw Replacement

Tools needed: 3/8th inch nut driver, flat-head screwdriver

Shock

Before you begin the procedure, unplug the unit?s power cord.

Water

If there is not enough slack, detach the dishwasher?s drain hose from the disposer inlet port, if applicable.

Using the 3/8th inch nut driver or the flat-head screwdriver, unthread the two mounting screws securing the tailpipe flange to the disposer.(Sfx: warning chime)

Heavy

Now rotate the lock ring counter-clockwise to release the disposer from the sink.

Next, use the flat-head screwdriver to loosen the three screws securing the mounting bracket to the strainer flange, then fully unthread the screw you?re replacing.

To install the new mounting bracket screw, partially thread it into the bracket, then tighten all three screws to ensure an even seal.

Reinstall the disposer by positioning it in the mounting bracket, making sure the disposer?s outlet port is aligned with the tailpipe.

Confirm the tailpipe gasket is in place on the outlet port, then position the tailpipe flange with the port and thread the two screws to secure.

Now fully rotate the disposer lock ring clockwise until it locks into place.

If applicable, reattach the dishwasher?s drain hose to the inlet port.

Plug the power cord back in and the garbage disposer should be ready for use.
