How to Replace a Sink Baffle?
garbage disposal
The sink baffle installs between the garbage disposal and your sink. It is made from heavy-duty rubber and is designed to keep food particles from splashing from the disposal while it is in use. The baffle also helps to reduce the noise. Your cutlery can damage the rubber baffle or it can begin to deteriorate over time. Replacement sink baffles are available for your garbage disposal.
1. Reach beneath your kitchen sink and unplug your garbage disposal. Turn off the water supply to your faucet.
2. Remove the two screws holding the discharge tube to the side of the disposal. Loosen the hose-clamp screw that holds the dishwasher drain hose to the side of the disposal. Remove the discharge tube and the dishwasher drain hose from the disposal.
3. Insert the disposer wrench that came with your garbage disposal into one of the mounting collar tabs. Alternatively, use a screwdriver. Place one hand beneath the garbage disposal as you turn the mounting collar clockwise. Be prepared for the garbage disposal to drop from the sink when released from the mounting bracket.
4. Peel the old sink baffle from the top of the garbage disposal. Wipe the lip to remove any grime, using paper towels. Inspect the lip of the disposal. Replace the disposal if the lip is broken or excessively corroded.
5. Place the replacement sink baffle on top of the disposal lip. Press down along the top of the baffle to snap it onto the disposal lip.
6. Reposition your garbage disposal underneath the sink. Align the mounting collar tabs with the openings on the mounting ring connected to the bottom of the kitchen sink. Turn the mounting collar counterclockwise until the tabs lock into place, using the disposer wrench or screwdriver.
7. Reconnect the discharge tube and the dishwasher drain hose to the garbage disposal. Turn on the water supply to the faucet. Plug the garbage disposal back into the wall outlet.
