How to hook up wires to a outlet that goes to a switch for garbage disposal.
Hello,
I have a bare wire, white, black and red ( the red is the only hot one.) The outlet is under the kitchen sink, the dishwasher and garbage disposal will plug into this outlet. this outlet will go to a switch with a white and black wire to control the garbage disposal. The question how to hook up the wires to the outlet under the sink? Help would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS! Dennis

Was this a working circuit or new circuit. If new circuit I can suggest how it could be wired but I'm not quite following your explanation.

Not sure where red wire came from, This was a working outlet for dishwasher and garbage disposal plugs. I lost power at the switch black and white wire that controls garbage disposal.

When the garbage disposal did not work when I tried the switch to on, I had no voltage there when metered. I took the wires apart at the switch and outlet. I have a new outlet, I hooked the bare wire to a ground, the white wire to the top left silver screw, the black wire to the top right brass screw and the red hot wire to the bottom right brass screw. I also clipped out the tab between the two brass screws. The switch wires now read 110 between them. I

Sorry, for some reason my full information you did not recieve. I do have the dishwasher pluged into the bottom and the garbage disposal pluged into the top of the outlet, you are right when I had nothing pluged into the top of the outlet I had no power at the switch. I hooked up a new switch with the white and black and the on off switch is runing like it should. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELR, GREATLY APPRECIATED!
