The GFC1020 series is the heaviest Disposall, and it is worth diagnosing carefully before replacing: a jam that would stall a small unit can be cleared here with the chamber emptied and the plate rocked free, and these units often outlive the kitchens around them.
Owner sequence: wall switch off, breaker off, inspect and clear with tongs, press reset underneath. Leaks from the body seam and anything to do with the mount or drains need a technician or a plumber.
Key Features
