Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Here are several garbage disposal troubles we frequently repair:

Garbage disposal won’t start.
Disposal makes noise but isn’t working right.
Disposal is leaking.
Disposal smells bad and the smell won’t diffuse.
Water won’t drain or is draining slowly through the disposal.

You should always trickle cold water into the garbage disposal while breaking down foods. Cold water sets fats that have been dumped in. This makes it simpler for the system to shred them.

Garbage disposals also need regular use to avoid malfunction.

Fixing a Leaky Garbage Disposal

A leaky garbage disposal can be repaired if you can find the part that's leading to the problem.

If you find a fatigued or leaky part, get a new one. Don’t use plumber’s putty to fill cracks.

Disposals may leak over time due to:

Wear and tear on the seals
Loose pipes
Flanges or gaskets that have dried out and cracked
Fissures in the garbage disposal body

Some disposals are hooked up to the dishwasher, which allows for self-cleaning. This spot commonly experiences leaks as well.

These malfunctions can be taken care of except for cracks in the body or interior lining of the disposal. If this is your problem, you will need to replace your garbage disposal.

It can take a DIYer an entire afternoon to locate and finish simple repairs, so include that in the cost when attempting to tackle the problem by yourself.

Having a professional technician like one from Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning identify and fix the problem can help locate other parts that may be about to break. That way, you won’t end up repairing the same disposal two weeks later.
