garbage disposer

Ever since we had granite installed with a new double sink, there have been frequent explosive overflows from the garbage disposer, into the other sink. I recently replaced the old garbage disposer as it was leaking and the new one behaves the same way. I had snaked the drain and run a couple...

My installed disposal stopped working. I unplugged it and plugged it back into the outlet (top one) that is wired for it, and it worked but then the switch (which is above the counter) didn't turn it off. I'd reset the unit and the circuit breakers. Tried again to unplug and plug it in--same...

The components consists of a double sink, garbage disposal and a dishwasher that drains into the garbage disposal. At the joint circled in the second picture the drain keeps on clogging and water/particles are forced through the pipe. The drain pipes are taken apart and the blockage is cleared...

Last night after draining the dirty sink water, I found standing, dirty and stinky sink water in the btm. of dishwasher. It is still standing this morning and the smell is awful!! I just bought the house and the dishwasher is a old Kenmore Elite that doesn't dispense the soap when running so...

I've got an Insinkerator disposer and a Kohler sink, both big brands, Why is it so difficult to connect it to the dishwasher air gap? The basic problem is the disposer has the air connection port aligned with port from the disposer to the drain. The hole in the sink for the air gap is between...
