If you buy a similar model from the same manufacturer, you can leave the sink fittings in place. Unplug the power and disconnect the waste pipe. Undo the bayonet fitting securing the waste disposal unit to the sink fitting. Fit new unit to sink fitting, reconnect waste pipe and power. Run the unit with plenty of water to check for leaks. Job done.
Check that it's getting power first, it may have jammed I am pretty sure some units have an overload cut out switch on the side to stop them burning out if jammed, check for that too.
with the power "off", check inside the unit to make sure nothing is jammed in there. assuming the interior is clear, try the reset button which is usually located on the bottom of the unit. may need to use a mirror and a flashlight to locate it. if the unit hums (indicating power is there) but it does not rotate/turn/work, use your "disposal key" or a hex wrench to turn it manually: usually inserts on the bottom-middle of the unit; turn it both ways to free it up.
