I'm replacing a gfci receptacle under my sink foe my garbage disposal and dishwasher. However I dont remember what wires went where. I have three wires 1 black, 1 red, and 1 white. I tried connecting the black wire to the line on the brass screw and the red right under that on the load brass screw and the white on the line silver screw. but my disposal stays on and the switch doesn't control it. What am I doing wrong

Yup, missed the part about the split receptacle, won't work. I just like to be safe w/water, but agreed, under the sink isn't in the sink... But where's the switch for the disposal? If it's switched I've seen people reach for that switch w/wet hands more times than I can count (myself included.)
