FAQs

What are the common signs that my garbage disposal needs repair?

Common signs that your garbage disposal needs repair include unusual noises like grinding or whirring, slow draining, persistent foul odors, frequent clogging, and the unit not turning on or off. If you notice any of these issues, it's time for a professional inspection.

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

Most garbage disposals have a reset button located on the bottom of the unit. First, turn off the disposal and unplug it. Then, press the reset button and wait a few minutes before plugging it back in. If the disposal still doesn’t work, you may need to consult a professional plumber.

What should I avoid putting down my garbage disposal to prevent damage?

To prevent damage to your garbage disposal, avoid putting hard materials like bones, coffee grounds, eggshells, and fibrous vegetables such as celery or corn husks down the unit. Also, avoid placing grease, oil, and large quantities of food waste, as these can cause clogs and blockages.

How often should I clean my garbage disposal?

It's recommended to clean your garbage disposal at least once a week. You can use natural cleaners like a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Simply pour half a cup of baking soda into the disposal, followed by a cup of vinegar. Let it fizz for a few minutes, then rinse with hot water.

Can I repair my garbage disposal myself, or should I hire a professional?

While minor issues like resetting the unit or clearing a simple clog can often be handled by homeowners, more complex problems should be addressed by a professional plumber. Attempting to repair a garbage disposal without the proper knowledge and tools can lead to further damage and safety risks.

How long does a typical garbage disposal last?

A well-maintained garbage disposal typically lasts between 8 to 15 years. Regular cleaning, proper use, and timely repairs and replacements can extend the life of your unit. If your garbage disposal is frequently breaking down or requiring repairs, it might be more cost-effective to invest in a new one.
