This is one that people seldom think about. Either the food disposal grinds and operates, it does not grind or it leaks. What they never think about is how the disposal is wired. I would say that, at least 25% of the time, I find that disposals are wired with the wrong cable. The disposal should NOT be wired with unprotected soft-sheathed cable. In fact, at the disposal below, there is a ding in the insulation on the cable. This is from damage or repeated twisting. The proper wiring for a disposal is either a soft appliance cord or wiring that is protected inside an approved flexible or armored conduit. Thanks for stopping by, Steven L. Smith
