How Do Garbage Disposals Work? What Are Some Common Disposal Problems?
Garbage disposals are designed to break down crumbs and similar leftovers before they can affect your plumbing system. Tiny blades housed inside of the disposal carve up debris into more manageable pieces, helping with drainage. The standard garbage disposal is energy efficient, needing less water and electricity to function.
If a malfunction appears, it’s most often a result of an electrical issue or improper use. The best way to protect your garbage disposal is to learn what food waste shouldn’t go in it. Xtra Mile technicians find the root cause of the problem to ensure repairs offer lasting benefits.
1. Your Garbage Disposal Isn’t Turning On
To see if your disposal is unable to start, try pushing the reset button located on the unit. If your disposal still isn’t running, it’s usually because of electrical problem or because the blades have gotten lodged against something. Damaged wiring may not be safe to inspect and repair, so we suggest leaving garbage disposal repair to skilled technicians.
2. The Motor Is Running, But the Blades Aren’t
If you’ve started the disposal but the blades fail to start spinning, it could be an electrical error, damage to the motor, or another malfunction somewhere between the blades and the motor. For safety reasons, we make sure the disposal is off before find the root cause.
Every now and then, something like old food gets stuck inside the disposal, catching the blades and preventing them from moving. Broken or malfunctioning blades are capable of injury, so keep hands and tools out of the disposal if you aren’t certain it’s turned off and unplugged.
3. Leaks
Leaking is a telltale sign your disposal may be damaged. When foreign objects are hard enough, it can crack or otherwise damage internal components and potentially spring a leak. Unexplained water damage can also help you figure out there’s something wrong with the disposal. If you find mold or mildew close to drain, the garbage disposal may be to blame.
