Signs That Your Garbage Disposal Needs Repair

Recognizing warning signs early prevents minor issues from becoming plumbing emergencies. Watch for these telltale problems:

garbage disposal

Humming without grinding: A jammed flywheel or stuck impeller causes a humming sound. The problem requires immediate attention to prevent motor burnout.

Frequent resets: Constantly needing to press the reset button is an indication of the garbage disposal overheating. Worn components or electrical problems cause this issue.

Persistent leaks: Failing seals or loose connections can lead to water pooling under your sink. Address leaks before water damage occurs.

Foul odors: Food particles trap themselves in areas that normal cleaning methods miss. Lingering smells signal a buildup that needs professional removal.

Unusual grinding noises: Metal-on-metal sounds point to foreign objects lodged inside the unit. Damaged blades create excessive vibration.

Slow draining: When water backs up in your sink despite the disposal running, clogs in the disposal chamber or drainpipe could be the culprit.

These issues worsen when ignored — give us a call to take quick action and protect your kitchen from further damage. We’ll send a licensed plumber with garbage disposal expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garbage Disposal Repair

Our experienced plumbers are happy to answer your garbage disposal questions. Here are some of the most common ones we receive. 

Can I Fix My Garbage Disposal Myself?

While hitting the reset button is a simple DIY fix, other issues need professional expertise. Incorrect repairs can cause more damage or create safety hazards. Leave electrical problems, motor failures or persistent leaks to our licensed plumbers. They have the tools and training for an accurate diagnosis, saving you time and preventing expensive mistakes.

We recommend cleaning your disposal weekly to prevent odors and buildup. Grind ice cubes to scrub the blades clean and follow this with a few citrus peels. A dash of dishwashing soap during operation helps to keep the unit fresh.

Steer clear of putting these foods, and any non-food items, down your garbage disposal:

  • Grease, fats and oils: These start as liquid but solidify when they cool down, which can clog your disposal or the sewer line.
  • Large amounts of starch: While a few grains of rice won’t cause damage, a heap of pasta might. Starch becomes mushy and can cause blockages.
  • Fibrous vegetables: Corn husks, celery, asparagus and other stringy vegetables can wrap around blades. The garbage disposal fails to grind these properly, leading to clogging. 
  • Hard items: Bones, fruit pits and other hard materials can cause damage. You should also be wary of eggshells, shellfish and coffee grounds. These foods take longer to decompose, causing them to accumulate in the pipes.
