What happens here

Begin by accessing the electrical compartment on the bottom of the garbage disposal. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the single screw holding the metal cover plate in place. Once the screw is removed, the plate will come off, exposing the internal wires (white and black) and the green grounding screw.

Goal: Expose internal wiring

What they say

Hide

Instead of actually buying a new cord attachment for a garbage disposal that doesn't come with a cord, we're actually just going to cut this off and we're going to use it. Give it the big old cut, pop that bad boy out, pull out the two connecting wires. You want to grab your Romax connector, take a pair of channel locks, some kind of pliers here, tighten this down. You're going to want to separate the wires. Separated. To go more now, you could just pull it, kind of like a twizzler, perfect.
