Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix

Garbage disposals are essential for a modern kitchen, and various issues can arise over time. Our experienced technicians can resolve a wide range of common garbage disposal problems, including:

• Not Turning On: If your disposal isn't turning on, it could be due to a tripped reset button, a faulty motor, a wiring issue, or a problem with the wall switch. We'll diagnose the exact cause and restore power.
• Humming but Not Grinding: A humming sound without grinding usually indicates a jam. This can be caused by hard food particles, silverware, or other foreign objects. We can safely clear the jam and get your disposal grinding again.
• Leaking Water: Water leaks from a garbage disposal can be caused by loose connections, a cracked housing, a faulty seal, or a problem with the dishwasher hose connection. We'll identify the source of the leak and provide a lasting solution.
• Making Loud Noises: Unusual noises like grinding, rattling, or clanking often indicate a foreign object inside the disposal, worn-out impellers, or a faulty motor. We can diagnose the source of the noise and repair or replace the faulty parts.
• Clogging Frequently: Frequent clogs can be caused by improper use (e.g., putting fibrous foods down the drain), a dull grinding plate, or a problem with the drain line. We'll clear the clog and provide advice on proper usage.
• Unpleasant Odors: Foul odors often result from food particles accumulating inside the disposal. We can thoroughly clean the unit and provide tips for odor prevention.

Tips for Maintaining Your Garbage Disposal

Regular maintenance can help prevent common garbage disposal problems and extend the life of your appliance. Consider these tips:

• Use Cold Water: Always run cold water when using the disposal. Cold water solidifies grease, allowing it to be chopped up and flushed away.
• Grind Small Batches: Don't overload the disposal. Grind food waste in small batches.
• Avoid Certain Foods: Never put fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta, rice, or grease down the disposal.
• Grind Citrus Peels: Grind citrus peels (lemon, orange) to help clean the disposal and eliminate odors.
• Run Regularly: Even if you don't use it often, run your disposal regularly with cold water to keep the parts moving and prevent rust.
• Use a Disposal Cleaner: Periodically use a specialized garbage disposal cleaner to remove buildup and odors.
