How to Maintain Your Disposal’s Health & Performance
Typical Garbage Disposal Issues
Our specialized knowledge and skill set let us handle all makes and models of garbage disposals. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Tucson provides comprehensive plumbing services for every part of your system. If your disposal malfunctions, we can assist you. Below are some frequent disposal problems we address:
Blocked Garbage Disposal
A jammed garbage disposal often emits a humming noise, indicating an obstruction preventing the blades from turning, which leads to liquids either spilling over or draining slowly from the sink. Common causes include the following:
- Eggshells
- Bones
- Foreign items
- Fibrous veggies
- Fruit pits
- Fats and oils
No Power
When your garbage disposal is unresponsive and silent, it may indicate various issues. These problems might include a loose connection in the compactor, a reset button that needs to be pressed, or a faulty electrical switch. For any electrical complications, we advise you to seek help from a qualified electrician.
Leaking Garbage Disposal
Leaks may develop at various points in your garbage disposal, such as the top, side, or bottom, affecting the dishwasher, drainpipe, or plumbing system. Depending on where the leak originates, solutions might include replacing an O-ring or tightening components, or they may involve a more intricate and expensive repair.
Poor Drainage
An efficient garbage disposal quickly grinds food and allows liquids to drain easily. If water and food start to accumulate in the sink, it could indicate dull blades or a blockage further down the pipe.
Humming Sound
If your garbage disposal hums without functioning well, it could be jammed or lacking the power to handle food waste effectively.
Bad Odors
Food particles can build up in your garbage disposal over time, leading to bad odors. However, an unpleasant smell doesn't always mean there's a problem. A deep cleaning of your garbage disposal might be needed to resolve the odor. If the smell remains after cleaning, you may need to take the disposal apart.
Leaking Into the Dishwasher
If your garbage disposal is linked to your dishwasher, there might be leaks into the dishwasher. These particular leaks usually suggest an improper installation of the dishwasher line.
Strange Noises
If your garbage disposal makes unusual noises like grinding metal, there may be an issue. Possible causes include debris stuck in the blades, a part that's missing, or a shifted component.
