Welcome back retroguy, long time no see!
 
Splash Guards

I am very Picky about them also.I ordered the older Maytag removeable one before Ise took them over.I use it for my Viking it was a tight fit but it works Great keeps everything inside and also makes alot less noise.You can still buy I paid 20 bucks for it but it was well worth it.My Waste King SS5000 arrived today.I havent got it in yet but will soon it looks to be a 94 model ,but I am Very happy with it they dont make them like that no more.The Grind ring is so sharp it sliced my finger open bad.
 
Thanks for telling me that.That helps alot.This disposer is older than I thought it says 92 as the First number.
 
thats the year...

that should still be the original style motor too then, thats made right about the time Anaheim took WK over from Thermador, and aside from the craptacular plastic mounting it will be an excellent disposal.
You have an extra SS 3-bolt mount for it I hope?
 
I am having a Problem and need your advice.I have a old Three bolt mount from 1981 from a Waste King and a Peerless disposer.I tried out the motor and it ran fine but when I hooked it up it is LOUD as hell.The guy I got it from didnt send the screw clamp so I used the older one.The strange part is that when I turn it on its loud but if I hit the sink right near the opening it sounds just Fine and will stay like that till I turn it off but when I turn it back on its loud again.The screw clamp is touching the sound shell would that cause it?I am worried its the bearings in it I have heard some rumors that they go quick near the end if W.k. ownership but if that is so then it would make the noise all the time then wouldnt it?What do you think it is?The Disposal has never been used if the bearings were shot it would do it all the time then..Like you I hate that Plastic mount and it still makes that noise.I am thinking about taking off the Shell tonite and see if that stops it.It runs just fine otherwise just loud.
 
problem..

Sounds to me like the shell rattling...take the shell off, reposition the padding and try again...
 
ISE disk

not much comparison eh?
This is the disk that was/is used in ALL non-Badger ISE/Kenmore/Kitchenad...ect

The Waste King I got I think the bearings are gone on it or I am still missing something.I dont understand why it is so loud I have took the bottom shell off and it is still loud.On the other hand if I take it out and just lay in on the floor and turn it on just a sec it sounds like a normal induction motor.I am taking it out and put my old 1001 Waste King in till I figure this out.I was wondering if I take the motor apart and oil the bearings would that ruin it?I spent a 100Bucks on this and well I am worried I just flushed it down the Drain there is alot of irony in that comment also.Any advice???
 
well...

first of all laying it on the side and running it is not good for it...

The only other thing I can think of is the disposal itself may not be hanging level, which would cause the vibration because the unit can't balance itself.
 
I Fixed it.Yea I know laying them on there side is a big No-No.I took it apart and it wasnt the bearings at all the grinding ring was just lose for some reason.I took some J&B cold weld and now it works just fine.
 
YAY!!

Good to know all is well, happy grinding!
I will answere your email this weekend, had a BAD day here and I am crashing!
 
Disposals

I bought an ISE model 77 back in '93. 3/4 hp, reversible, it handles corncobs, bones, whatever. In 2000 the hammers began rubbing against the grind ring-the slots in the hammers had worn. I pulled it apart, replaced the turntable and grind ring, lubricated the motor bearings, and reassembled it. It's still running great. I'm not sure if the new ISE's are rebuildable-I've heard that the grind ring is no longer replaceable, you have to replace the housing. The turntable is, however. When the time comes, I'll probably buy another top-of-the-line ISE. The induction motor, by the way, is far superior to the permanent-magnet brush-type motor used by the "high speed" models. Those have a limited life span, determined by the life of the motor brushes. Generally new brushes aren't sold (though you can go to an electric motor shop and find something that will probably work), and when the brushes wear out, the commutator is probably shot, too.
