Not sure what type of garbage disposal you have? No problem. Our experienced technicians at Mr. Appliance® of Asheville will know what to do when they arrive at your home!
Common Issues We Fix:
- The garbage disposal is not working—no power.
Before contacting us, check for tripped circuit breakers and press the Reset button on your unit. If the problem persists, it's likely the motor is worn out and the entire unit may need to be replaced. (More details below.)
- The garbage disposal is jammed.
High-fiber foods, cornhusks, avocado peels, bones, and utensils can cause jams. Use a socket wrench to rotate the masher plate under the motor and attempt to clear the jam. Remember, never put your hand in the disposal.
- The garbage disposal drain is clogged.
Turn off the power, disassemble the trap, and use a drain snake to clear the clog. After reassembly, turn on the water to check if the clog is gone. Need assistance? Contact Mr. Appliance for garbage disposal repairs.
- The garbage disposal is making excessive noise.
Excessive noise is often caused by foreign objects, loose screws, broken flyweights, and worn lugs and blades. It's important to have your unit serviced soon to prevent water leakage into the motor and bearings.
- The garbage disposal is leaking.
Leaks may indicate a loose sink flange or a worn rubber gasket. Sometimes, replacing the unit is necessary. The sooner you reach out to us, the better we can prevent major damage.
