Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement
Garbage Disposal
A garbage disposal can run into many kinds of problems, some of which can be easily fixed and others that may need more advanced training. The garbage disposal may be one of the most misused appliances in any home. Few people realize that garbage disposals are only designed to handle light food residue that is rinsed from plates and cooking utensils before they go into the dishwasher. Large quantities of food and debris going into disposers can overwhelm them and clog the kitchen sink drain.
Appliances don’t last forever, but sometimes it’s hard to know when to replace one instead of repairing it. With garbage disposals, there are some distinct signs that may give you clues about what to do. Replacing a failed garbage disposer can seem daunting. There's the usual trepidation about electricity and water, the unfamiliar sink connection and enough drain fittings to make leaks a real possibility.

This is very common problem – the motor works so we think everything is working. You might consider replacing your kitchen garbage disposal if you notice any of these situations. It clogs frequently; frequent clogs also may signal that you require a larger disposal capacity for your needs, so look into installing a bigger model. You have to press the reset button a lot, you can’t get rid of odors, the blades have become dull, you have a leak that can’t be easily fixed, and you’re replacing your kitchen sink or dishwasher.
Maintaining Your Garbage Disposal
This is extremely important because it helps to keep your drain and sewer system free of clogs caused by grease or food waste from faulty garbage disposals. Avoid pouring grease, cooking oil, coffee grounds, or other oily substances that can build up in your drain lines and cause clogs. Avoid putting large chunks of any food, starchy foods such as potatoes or pasta that build up a sticky paste and clog up your drain and tough meat scraps into your disposal because these can cause jams and/or cause major damage to the blades. For disposal jams, use the wrench that is designed for the slot under your disposal to release most jams.
