3 ft. Power Cord Installation Kit for InSinkErator Garbage Disposal

A:  Hello Lark! We're glad you've reached out to us. We're sorry to hear that the power cord was damaged. If the cord of your Badger 500 is built-in, unfortunately, that is not replaceable. A corded unit's power cord is attached at the factory using plastic clips that are not designed to be removed. If your disposal unit is uncorded, yes, the InSinkErator power cord kit is what you can use to replace the chewed one. If you require additional assistance, feel free to contact us via https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. Thank you.

A:  I would use model # Evo Compact sku# 1009-727-709 in it place.  Everything should hold up just like the old one.

A:  I got the badger 900 3/4 hp insinkerator and that works great …. I had to buy the cord for it…

A:  Hello JerryT, we're glad you reached out. The Evolution Compact is still available. You can check out the link here: https://thd.co/40gXiYU. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.

A:  Hi Jack, thanks for reaching out. May we know if you're asking about the hole diameter that is required for a sink-top switch or hot and cold-water dispenser? For further assistance, you call our phone line at 800-558-5700 Mon-Fri 8 am - 7 pm CST and weekends 9 am - 6 pm CST.

A:  There is no opening in the counter top. This is just the cord and plug that attaches to your new garbage disposal. There should most likely already be an electrical outlet to plug it into in the cabinet under the sink..

A:  I am a little confused by your questions... This is a standard 15 to 20 Amp plug with a ground wire. It will require a 1 1/4" diameter hole - you might be able to get it done with a 1" but it will be a tight fit. It may be possible to drill only about a 5/8" hole and thread the wire through it backwards. The plug has no openings, rather it has three prongs, one of which is "keyed" to the hot (black side) on the outlet. The other end fits nicely into an In-Sink-Erator disposal. There is a keeper (the little metal thing with two screws) that attaches to the disposal via a threaded connection. Once the wire is connected to the disposal, the keeper is tightened around the wire to keep it from being pulled out should the wire be caught on something. The part that confuses me is what do you mean by "countertop"? The wire is only 36" long and is designed to be completely contained under the sink. In other words, this should not be installed by drilling through a countertop. Rather, there should be an outlet under the sink that has a switch in the circuit so that you can turn the disposal on and off. If such an outlet is not available, I suggest that you find a qualified electrician to install a switched outlet under the sink with wire placed in the wall and a switch on the back splash.

A:  Hi Brenda, thank you for your question. For best results, we recommend you use InSinkErator accessories with InSinkErator units. In general, we do not test our products for compatibility with other products, so we cannot speak to the expected performance when used together. Our household power cord kit (model 9008D) complies with UL requirements and UL430 standard for disposers.
