Model Number: GFC520F Brand: GE Age: More than 10 years
House is only 20 years old and we bought it this summer - disposer can't be older than 20 yrs - but it leaks - I suspect not the flange gasket but the mechanical or shaft seal. Do these get repaired or replaced?
If replaced, should I go ahead and get another GE so I can use the existing flange, etc.? gracias is advance; papa smurf Related Models |

Your garbage disposer has to be replaced.
As a replacement option I would recommend the 1/2 H.P. continuous feed with quick-lock mounting and galvanized steel grinder garbage disposer made by the Whirlpool. It has the same design as a very good known In Sink Erator garbage disposer and cost about 25 bucks less. It comes with the complete, step by step installation instructions. - The part number for the Whirlpool garbage disposer is AP3121409 Good luck. Gene.

It was the flange gasket after all
One other thing - I called GE and purchased parts from them and they are yet to be delivered - the same parts I got for $2.15 from a nearby store cost over $24 from GE mailed tp my house - hopefully I can return them. It is also impossible to understand the customer service reps on the phone - I will not be going that route ever again. Papa smurf Quote:
