This is a black flexible rubber cover that is over the top of the sink drain, used for your food waste disposer. It keeps liquids and smaller food particles from splashing back into the sink. The splash guard can become worn out over time and may need to be replaced. Make sure to disconnect the power before beginning your repair. This part is 3.75 inches in length, 3.75 inches in width, 0.75 inches in height and weighs 0.119 lbs. Remove the drain pipe from the disposal, and turn the mounting ring. Remove the old cover with a screwdriver and place the new one into place.

Water is leaking from the bottom of the disposal. It appears to coming through a round opening with a red plastic button in the center of the opening. What part is malfunctioning and what do i need to replace?The unit is about 10 years old but seems to run great.
For model number GC2000
Hi Jerry,
Thank you for your question. The red plastic button you are describing sounds like the reset button. If there is water leaking in the area of the reset button, then there is either a crack in the body of the disposer or issue with the flywheel gasket and the disposer will need to be replaced. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How do I install a new splash guard
For model number GC1000
Hello Lawrence, thank you for your question. First, unplug the unit. Then disconnect the dishwasher inlet port. Using a 3/8 inch nut driver or a flat head screw driver, unthread the mounting screws securing the tailpipe flange to the disposer. Now rotate the lock ring counter clockwise to release the disposer from the sink. If still intact, pull off the old splash guard to install the new splash guard. Align it over the lip on the top of the disposer. Reinstall the disposer by positioning it in the mounting bracket making sure the disposer's outlet port is aligned with the tailpipe. Confirm the tailpipe gasket is in place on the outlet port, then position the tailpipe flange with the port and thread the two screws to secure. Now fully rotate the disposer lock ring clockwise until it locks into place. Reattach the dishwasher drain hose to the inlet port, plug the power cord back in and the garbage disposer should be ready for use. We hope this helps!
