Always Be Sure To Lock Your Garbage Disposal!

What happens here

Locate the main electrical panel (circuit breaker box) and turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the garbage disposal. This is crucial for safety. Once power is off, access the electrical compartment at the bottom of the disposal unit, remove the cover, and disconnect the wires (black, white, and ground).

Goal: Safely turn off the power to the garbage disposal at the circuit breaker and then disconnect the electrical wiring from the unit.
