Addressing Your Garbage Disposal Repairs
Jammed Garbage Disposal
When your garbage disposal makes a humming sound and won’t go, something is blocking its blades from rotating. Some of the most common items that easily jam your garbage disposal include:
- Bones
- Fruit pits
- Eggshells
- Foreign items
- Fibrous veggies
- Fats and oils
Won’t Power On
If your garbage disposal doesn't start and stays quiet, it could signify various problems. This could be due to a loose plug in the compactor, a triggered reset button, or the necessity for an electrical switch replacement. If it's an electrical issue, you should consult a professional electrician.
Garbage Disposal Leaks
Leaks can happen at any section of your garbage disposal, including the top, side, and bottom. A leak can negatively impact the dishwasher, the rest of the plumbing system, or the drainpipe. Depending on the origin of the leak, the solution could range from changing an O-ring and tightening some parts to executing more complex and costly leak repairs.
Won’t Drain
A properly working garbage disposal quickly grinds food and allows liquids to drain smoothly. If the sink starts to fill with water and food, the blades might be dull, or there might be a blockage deep in the pipe.
Humming Sound
Your garbage disposal may be stuck if you only hear humming, but it won’t grind your food. We can determine why your disposal isn’t powerful enough to grind the food.
Rotten Odor
Food leftovers can accumulate in your garbage disposal, causing a displeasing smell after a short time. This isn't a malfunction but is an indication of needing a thorough cleaning. If the smells linger after cleaning, you might need to disassemble the garbage disposal to determine the cause.
Leaking Into the Dishwasher
If your garbage disposal is connected to your dishwasher, there's a risk of leakage into the dishwasher. This type of leakage often indicates an improper dishwasher line installation.
Unusual Noises
If you hear a noise like metal grinding, there is a problem. Something may be caught in the disposal's blades, or a piece may be missing.
Maintaining Your Garbage Disposal Health
Our team helps you maintain your garbage disposal. If you have an issue, we offer prompt and efficient garbage disposal repair services. We recommend trying to reset the garbage disposal by pushing its reset button before contacting us. Some of the best ways to maintain your garbage disposal health include:
- Run cold water while operating your waste disposal unit to ensure smooth functioning.
- Routinely clean your unit with ice cubes and citrus peels to eliminate odors and build-up.
- Avoid disposing of hard materials like bones or fibrous ones like corn husks.
- Operate the garbage disposal at least once a day.
- Avoid using strong cleaning chemicals.
