Common Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix
- Disposal completely jammed — Bone, glass, or fibrous food wedged in the grinding chamber
- Leaking from the side — Loose or deteriorated dishwasher drain connection or discharge pipe gasket
- Motor burned out — Unit hums briefly then goes silent; motor has failed and replacement is needed
- Bad smell that won’t go away — Food trapped in the splash guard, grinding chamber, or drain connector
- Disposal works intermittently — Loose wiring, failing wall switch, or motor on its last legs
Frequently Asked Questions
My disposal smells terrible even after running citrus and ice. What else can I do? Persistent odor often comes from food trapped under the splash guard or in the drain pipe beyond the disposal. We can clean these areas and eliminate the source.
Should I repair or replace a 10-year-old disposal? If the motor is still strong and the issue is a simple jam or electrical fix, repair makes sense. If the motor is failing or the unit leaks from the body, replacement at that age is usually smarter.
What’s the best garbage disposal brand? InSinkErator and Waste King are the two most reliable brands in our experience. We install both and can recommend the right horsepower for your household.
