Signs You Need Garbage Disposal Repair
Do you need help with your garbage disposal? Here are the signs you may need professional assistance:
- Disposal won’t turn on: If your garbage disposal doesn’t turn on when you hit the switch, not even making a noise, check the circuit breakers controlling it; not just the one in your electrical panel, but the one directly on the unit, which can be reset via a button on the bottom of the unit. If this doesn’t help or it keeps happening, you need repairs.
- Noise but no grinding: This usually indicates a jam (and will trip the breaker eventually). You can try turning it off and removing whatever is jamming it manually, or you can try manually rotating it using an Allen wrench inserted into an opening in the bottom of the unit. If this doesn’t work, it’s time to call our team.
- It runs but doesn’t grind well: This issue can stem from dull blades, a worn-down grinding mechanism, or drainage issues.
- Leaks: Any leak, even a minor one, should be taken seriously and resolved by a professional.
- Runs but won’t drain: This usually means a clog somewhere in the pipe. If pulling your traps and cleaning them out doesn’t fix the issue, you’ll need a plumbing professional. Never use liquid plumber products on your kitchen sink, as these can cause permanent damage to your pipes.
DIY Garbage Disposal Maintenance
Keeping your garbage disposal in good condition is 90% about avoiding putting things in it that it can’t handle. That means nothing sticky that will break down into a glue-like goop, nothing that can act as a firm structure for a clog, etc. In other words, avoid fats, starches, and fibrous foods going down your disposal as best you can — a little is inevitable, but a lot can cause big headaches. Avoid putting the following items down your garbage disposal:
- Potato peels
- Eggshells
- Oatmeal
- Grease
- Nuts
- Coffee grounds
- Non-food items
