How to Remove Broken Glass From Garbage Disposal! #plumbing #diy #plumber #helpingothers

What happens here

Place the removed garbage disposal unit on a stable surface. Remove the rubber splash guard or gasket from the top opening of the disposal. This will provide a clearer view into the grinding chamber. Inspect the interior for any remaining broken glass, food waste, or other foreign objects. Wearing protective gloves, carefully pick out all remaining debris from the grinding chamber. The video shows a significant amount of glass inside, which is then removed and collected in a separate container.

Goal: With the disposal removed, separate the splash guard/gasket and thoroughly clean out all remaining broken glass and debris from inside the grinding chamber.

What they say

Hide

around the bolt and pop this piece out. That is going to unlock this mechanism. And now we'll be able to just take this off. You might need a screwdriver to get in here to pop that off. Now we can see everything right there. Now we just need to get it all out. Right. And that right there is everything that came out of there. There we go.
