4 items to check
For a complete inspection, also consider:
The disposer should be approved for the sink and service, fit the cabinet and drain layout, and use the required mounting and dishwasher connection components.
The electrical connection and control method should follow the disposer listing, adopted code, and instructions, with proper enclosure, grounding, disconnect, and protective devices.
Mounting seals, flange, discharge connection, dishwasher inlet, trap, and fittings should be aligned, supported, and watertight without improvised corrugated drainage.
The disposer should run and stop normally without abnormal vibration, contact, leakage, overheating, or debris, and the owner should receive safe-use and jam-clearing information.
