Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix

Humming but Not Grinding: Motor runs, but blades won’t spin—usually a jam or seized flywheel.
Leaking Under the Sink: Water pooling below often means worn gaskets, loose mounting, or cracked housing.
Loud Grinding or Rattling: Foreign objects (silverware, bottle caps) stuck in the chamber.
Won’t Turn On at All: Tripped reset button, blown breaker, or faulty wiring at the switch.
Slow Draining or Backups: Clogs in the disposal chamber or drainpipe block water flow, causing slow drainage or backups.
Frequent Overheating: Overloaded motor or lack of cold water during use, causing thermal shutoffs.
Bad Odors: Food buildup in the splash guard or grinding chamber can create bacteria and unpleasant smells.

Garbage Disposal Maintenance & Usage Tips

Run Cold Water Always: Use cold water before, during, and 15 seconds after grinding to flush debris and solidify fats.
Avoid Hard Materials: No bones, fruit pits, shells, or fibrous vegetables (celery, corn husks) that can jam blades.
Clean Monthly: Grind ice cubes and citrus peels once a month to scrub buildup and freshen the unit.
Never Use Drain Cleaners: Harsh chemicals damage rubber seals and metal components—call a pro for clogs.
Reset Before Calling: Press the red reset button on the disposal’s bottom if it won’t turn on—this is a simple fix.
Listen for Changes: New noises, slower grinding, or weak water flow signal early problems worth checking.
Don’t Overload: Feed waste gradually in small batches instead of cramming large amounts at once.
