While once there were many different garbage disposal manufacturers like Tappan, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, etc. there are now only two major players in the domestic garbage disposal marketplace, Today the other appliance brands like KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Maytag, Frigidaire, Kenmore, GE, Whirlpool, etc. just rebrand either of those manufacturer's products and sell them under their own brand names. Products sold under those other brands may only have styling, warranty or sound level differences while the underlying machinery is basically the same. (See the Who makes what? for more.) The disposal manufacturers also sell their products under a number of their own brand names like ISE's Badger and Emerson brands and also make many of the store brand models which carry the store names. Anaheim Manufacturing sells their products under the Waste King, Sinkmaster, Whirlaway, BoneCrusher and Pulverator brands. Often parts for either of the two main disposal manufacturers will fit any of the other brands which are produced by that same manufacturer. We have compiled here some of the more common items which consumers may be interested in replacing along with some of the parts which are still available for the original disposer designs. Probably the most common part needing replacement is the sink stopper which fit into the top of the disposal to allow water to remain in the sink. The main difference between the sink stoppers (besides the make of disposal they're for) is the type of disposer they're used on. There are the 'continuous feed' disposer models which are typically activated by a separate wall switch and are most common and 'batch feed' models are turned on and off using the lid/stopper itself.

'Continuous Feed' Disposers
Stoppers are also available for older KitchenAid 'continuous feed' models as well as ones for Anaheim Manufacturing's models. See the links below. Disposal Splash Guards
Miscellaneous
One unique feature of ISE built disposers is the allen key slot in the center of the base of the unit. A tool is designed to insert into it to help free jams. Although for the KitchenAid brand build by In-Sink-Erator, the tool below should work on all ISE built disposer models.
