Garbage Disposer Repair

This thing has had leaking issues since the first day. I've tried new seals, no seals, plumbers putty and combinations of all. It almost looks like the sink flange is warped and can't sit flat in the sink. Is this a replacement item or for simplicity and desperation, will a bead of silicone stand a chance at seling this?

Tippsy,

It's not likely that silicone sealer will solve the problem, Maybe temporarily.

Yes, individual parts are available :

Part number: AP2037689

Part number: AP2037569

Part number: AP2037567

Part number: AP2037606

Since you've had this issue, since the beginning, if you have a Stainless Steel sink, you may want to check the sink flange, for damage or distress, once you've got the disposer out.

Good Luck,
