I have a kitchen aid model KWS200 garbage disposal heavy duty.

I know it is old but it works great.

My problem is the magnetic closure that goes into the sink to make it run keeps breaking on me. I hold it together with tape but then have to hold it in the sink while I use the dipsoser.

Just about everyone says that they no longer carry this. The two places i did find want $50.00 for it.

I really do not want to pay that much like I said the machine is old

Does anyone know anyplace that sells parts for outdated appliances.

Thank you

$50 is about as cheap as you're going to find that item.
Ive seen some places charge more. Frankly I'm a bit surprised
you can still get it at all. In other words if you want to save the
unit you better grab one.
