All Installation Instructions for General Electric Food Waste Disposer GFC525F-01

Deteriating splash guard

The splash guard for the disposer was deteriorating and kept falling into the disposer and getting chewed up making it even less reliable. I purchased two different 'universal' splash guards at the hardware store. Neither of them fit. I finally crawled under the sink with my eyeglasses and a flash light to find the model number. I searched for the model number on part select and received veery quickly. I just popped it in (less than a minute) and now everything is wonderful. Don't buy a new disposer (my wife wanted me to) buy the replacement part that is giving you trouble at PartSelect!

Splash guard kept popping up when disposer was used.

Removed old splash guard by pulling it up and out of the disposer then pressed the new guard in place. It was a perfect fit.

My splash guard deteriorated

The repaire was so easy that it is hardly can qualify as a repair. I just pulled the old splash guard and put in the new. Thirty seconds and garbage disposer looks like brand new!

rotted splashguare

It was very difficult to find a splash guard to fit. Have tried at major stores LOWES and small Hardware stores. The people who worked on your Phone line helped me to choose the correct splashguard even though the model number did not match. I think the diposal was old. thanks for your help. It fit perfectly.

Splash guard was too small and kept falling in

My order arrived in the mail in 2 days, I popped it in and it was a perfect fit. AAHH, what a relief not to have it fall in constantly!

Splash guard dropped from position and was caught by blades of disposal.

Simply removed the old splash guard which was partially destroyed and inserted the new one.

Replace splash guard: I tried two hardware store generic splash guards that did not fit.

This part DID fit easily using no tools. This is replacement splash guard for GE disposal GFC325F-00. I also received quick response from your chat rep when I asked for a part number for this disposal. Part arrived quickly! All in all, a great experience!!!
