Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Here are several garbage disposal troubles we regularly repair:

Garbage disposal won’t turn on.
Disposal makes noise but isn’t working properly.
Disposal is leaking.
Disposal stinks and the odor won’t dissipate.
Water won’t drain or is draining sluggishly through the disposal.

You should always trickle cold water into the garbage disposal while eliminating foods. Cold water sets greases that have been poured in. This makes it smoother for the system to break them up.

Garbage disposals also need regular use to avoid rust.

Fixing a Leaky Garbage Disposal

A leaky garbage disposal can be repaired if you can locate the part that's causing the problem.

If you find a beat up or leaky part, put in a new one. Don’t use plumber’s putty to fill cracks.

Disposals may leak over time due to:

Deterioration on the seals
Loose pipes
Flanges or gaskets that have dried out and broken
Fissures in the garbage disposal body

Some disposals are linked to the dishwasher, which allows for self-cleaning. This area frequently experiences leaks as well.

These issues can be fixed except for cracks in the body or interior lining of the disposal. If this is your problem, you will need to install a new garbage disposal.

It can take a DIYer a lot of time to diagnose and complete simple repairs, so include that in the cost when deciding to take care of the problem without professional help.

Having a skilled technician like one from Church Services diagnose and repair the problem can help locate other pieces that may be about to break. That way, you won’t be fixing the same disposal two weeks later.
