Hardwired Garbage Disposal To Switch

I am remodeling my kitchen and in the previous kitchen the garbage disposer was hardwired under the sink and controlled by a switch on the wall above the countertop.

Hardwired garbage disposal to switch. The disposal is on its own 20amp circuit to the breaker box. In the case of a garbage disposal wireless switch the power module is simply plugged into the power supply socket just like you connect an adapter plug. As requested here are some pics of the wiring as it is now pigtailed into an outlet. There is another receptacle on the wall under sink.

There were the usual three wires. The gfci outlet was the same as this except i wired it directly to the cable coming out of the wall and used the terminals that weren t blocked out by the yellow load sticker. I would like to take the switch and convert it to a switch and receptacle combination. Once you push the button it activates the power module which in turn activates the disposer.

Garbage disposal hardwired switch. It can be completed in about an hour. One switch is for the garbage disposal the other is for a light over the sink. Currently there are two circuits cables coming into the box.

Garbage disposals sometimes called food disposers can be connected to the electrical power supply in one of two ways they are sometimes hardwired directly into a dedicated circuit or they can be wired with an appliance cord that plugs into a wall outlet that is usually located inside the sink base cabinet. I am replacing it with a new one. You will be saving money by doing it yourself instead of hiring an electrician. Wiring your garbage disposal is needed so that you have control over turning it on and off.

I m going to switch to a regular outlet and see if that helps. The new one has a power cord i ve read that it would be better to add an outlet controlled by the existing switch and plug the power cord into it rather than removing the power cord and hard wiring the existing wire coming from the switch. Garbage disposals break down food washed into your sink to help prevent your pipes from clogging. And like an adapter this module also has a socket to which the garbage disposal cord is connected.
