Common Garbage Disposal Problems
Here are some garbage disposal problems we frequently handle:
- Garbage disposal won’t start.
- Disposal makes noise but isn’t working correctly.
- Disposal is leaking.
- Disposal reeks and the scent won’t go away.
- Water won’t drain or is draining slowly through the disposal.
You should always run cold water into the garbage disposal while crushing foods. Cold water sets oils that have been discarded. This makes it smoother for the system to shred them.
Garbage disposals also require frequent use to avoid malfunction.
Fixing a Leaky Garbage Disposal
A leaky garbage disposal can be fixed if you can find the part that's causing the problem.
If you find a fatigued or leaky part, replace it. 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 split
- Cracks in the garbage disposal body
Some disposals are connected to the dishwasher, which allows for self-cleaning. This spot frequently suffers from 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 locate and make simple repairs, so factor that into the cost when choosing to handle the problem by yourself.
Having a professional technician like one from Levy & Son Service Experts diagnose and fix the problem can help find other components that may be about to go out. That way, you won’t be dealing with the same disposal two weeks later.
