Replacing the internal seal in a scrap disposal is a fairly simple task that can be fulfilled with introductory tools and a little bit of tolerance. Then are the way to follow

1. Turn off the power to the scrap disposal by freeing it or turning off the circuit swell.

2. dissociate the drain pipes from the disposal. You may need to use pliers or a wrench to loosen the nuts.

3. Remove the mounting assembly that holds the disposal in place. This will generally involve removing a many screws or bolts.

4. Precisely lower the disposal from the mounting assembly and set it on a stable face.

5. detect the seal that's causing the leak. It'll be a rubber gasket that sits between the upper and lower halves of the disposal.

6. Remove the old seal by precisely prying it out with a screwdriver.

7. Clean the area around the seal with a damp cloth to remove any debris or residue.

8. Install the new seal by pressing it into place with your fritters. Make sure it's seated rightly and unevenly.

9. Assemble the disposal by reversing the way you took to disassemble it.

10. Test the disposal for leaks by running water through it for a many twinkles.

still, it's always stylish to consult a professional plumber or appliance form technician to help you, If you're uncomfortable with any of these way or doubtful about your capability to complete this form.

To replace the internal seal on a Kenmore 06011 garbage disposal, you will need the following tools and materials:

Replacement internal seal (Kenmore part number 2592)

Screwdriver

Wrench

Bucket

Gloves

Instructions:

Disconnect the garbage disposal from the power outlet.

Place a bucket under the garbage disposal to catch any water that leaks out.

Loosen the screws that secure the sink flange to the garbage disposal.

Carefully lift the garbage disposal away from the sink flange.

Remove the old internal seal from the bottom of the garbage disposal.

Apply a thin bead of silicone sealant to the new internal seal.

Place the new internal seal on the bottom of the garbage disposal.

Carefully lower the garbage disposal back onto the sink flange.

Tighten the screws that secure the sink flange to the garbage disposal.

Reconnect the garbage disposal to the power outlet.

Test the garbage disposal by running some water through it. If there are no leaks, the repair is complete.

Here are some additional tips for replacing the internal seal on a Kenmore 06011 garbage disposal:

Be careful not to overtighten the screws that secure the sink flange to the garbage disposal, as this can damage the garbage disposal.

If you are having trouble removing the old internal seal, you can try using a putty knife to pry it out.

When applying the silicone sealant to the new internal seal, be sure to apply it evenly to the entire surface of the seal.

Allow the silicone sealant to dry completely before testing the garbage disposal for leaks.

If you are not comfortable replacing the internal seal yourself, you can contact a professional plumber for help.
