FAQs

Why is my garbage disposal making a humming noise?

A humming noise usually indicates that the motor is running but the blades are not turning. This can occur due to a jammed disposal, worn out blades, or an issue with the motor. Try turning off the disposal, unplugging it, and using a wrench to manually turn the blades to dislodge any debris. If the issue persists, a professional inspection may be needed.

What can I do if my garbage disposal is not draining?

If your garbage disposal is not draining, it could be due to a clog in the unit or the drainpipe. First, try running the disposal to see if it clears the blockage. If not, turn off and unplug the disposal, and examine the drainpipe for obstructions. You may need to use a plunger or a plumber's snake to clear the clog. If you can't resolve the issue, seeking professional help can prevent further damage.

Can I put any kind of food waste down my garbage disposal?

No, not all food waste should be put down the garbage disposal. Avoid fibrous materials like celery, potato peels, and corn husks, as well as hard substances like bones and coffee grounds. Grease, oil, and fats should also be avoided as they can solidify and cause clogs. Always run cold water while using the disposal to help wash down the food particles.

How often should I clean my garbage disposal?

It's recommended to clean your garbage disposal at least once a week to maintain its efficiency and hygiene. You can do this by running cold water and dish soap through the unit, or by grinding up citrus peels and ice cubes. For a deep clean, consider using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, followed by a thorough rinse with hot water.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is leaking?

If your garbage disposal is leaking, first identify the source of the leak. Common areas include the sink flange, dishwasher hose, or discharge drain pipe. Tighten any loose connections and replace faulty seals if necessary. If the leak persists, it may indicate a more serious issue within the unit, and professional assistance will be required to prevent water damage and ensure proper repair.

How can I reset my garbage disposal if it stops working?

If your garbage disposal stops working, it may need to be reset. First, ensure the unit is powered off, then locate the reset button on the bottom or side of the disposal. Press the button, and if it doesn't click back in place, wait a few minutes and try again. Turn the unit back on and test its functionality. Persistent issues may require professional diagnosis and repair.
