Maytag FB20 Disposer

I just did it once for a test. I don't intend on doing it again. The ring and hammers didn't look any worse than before I did it. If I feel industrious I might dig into it later on this fall, if I can find a new shredder ring. I have too many other projects to do right now to mess with it. Wes suggested putting some auto transmission oil in the chamber to keep it lubricated and from rusting. I could do that in the mean time. Would that be a good idea? I did take the outside cover off and looked underneath. Everything looked good. I've never work on a garbage disposer in my life, so I don't know much about them.

If the machine passed your various shredding tests-I would just leave the thing alone.Install it and enjoy the machine!Maytag shred rings are pretty tough should last a long time-and before you should take the machine apart-make sure you can get a replacement shredder!Disposers are a PAIN to take apart and put together again.And if you do take the machine part the hopper gaskets will have to be replaced,too.these often get destroyed when you take it apart.
