I have a dead garbage disposal that's making life in my kitchen less-than fun. Especially when the sink backs up when one runs the dishwasher.

Anyone know a good local plumber in the Medford Square / Davis Square area?

if you're at all handy... for the cost of a new one from say sears or homer despot or ...

them things are generally like light bulbs. literally. more than a few just have an outlet too... unplug, then with a mighty heave ho, they twist out of a locking ring. throw away. for the cost of a new one from say sears?

little more work if you have to kill the power, and play with the wire twists. given that i've actually replaced several of these stupid things, i'd prefer to have an outlet... so installing one of those is a good thing.

the dishwasher has a connector frob in there too... you'll want a bucket to slop the hose into. that's about it. it's ALMOST toolless, and a plumber is just going to nail you for cost of unit (he gets a discount probably), and his time, and ... oiy.

so, goodluck
