Service for the Two Types of Garbage Disposals

You may not know that garbage disposals come in two different types. Mr. Appliance of Leesburg & Martinsburg’s team of seasoned appliance repair experts has in-depth training and expertise in repairing both types. However, it’s essential to understand which garbage disposal type you have in your home when you need an appliance specialist to repair or maintain your garbage disposal. We’ve described each of the two types of garbage disposals:

  • Continuous Feed – Continuous feed garbage disposals start running when you flip a switch. This garbage disposal type runs continuously while you have it turned on and usually uses a rubber shield to keep food inside.
  • Batch Feed – Batch feed garbage disposals have a distinctive safety feature that prevents them from running unless you place a cap or lid over them. This is an excellent option if you have little children living in or visiting your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many things can go wrong with your garbage disposal and impact its performance or grind it to a halt. No matter what problem develops with your appliance, our friendly, uniformed technicians will gladly show you the best repair options to resolve it. In many cases, your garbage disposal may not need professional repair services. If you question if your appliance needs expert attention, you should always prioritize safety and protect your household investment by calling Mr. Appliance of Leesburg & Martinsburg. The following are examples of the most common garbage disposal issues:

    • There Is No Power to the Garbage Disposal – First, look at your electrical panel to verify that none of your breakers have tripped. After that, you can attempt to reset your garbage disposal. When your garbage disposal gets jammed, there’s a good chance it will overheat and turn itself off. You’ll typically find a red reset button on the unit to restore power. If none of these factors resolve your garbage disposal issue, you probably need to replace your unit’s motor.
    • Garbage Disposal Jams – Jams are one of the most common issues garbage disposals can experience. High-fiber foods are typical culprits clogging home garbage disposals. You should never try to clear a clog by going through the top of your garbage disposal. This appliance should have a hole under the motor to give you access to a socket wrench. If you rotate that, your garbage disposal’s masher plate should clear the jam.
    • Clogged Garbage Disposal Drain – Your garbage disposal can develop a clog like any other drain in your home. However, clearing clogs in a garbage disposal can be tricky. Let Mr. Appliance of Leesburg & Martinsburg help you by snaking out the clogs that form in your appliance.
    • Excessive Noise – If your garbage disposal is making excessive noise, this issue is typical because of something getting stuck inside, such as a screw or bone.
    • Leaking Garbage Disposal – When your household garbage disposal’s seals and gaskets wear out, dirty water can start leaking under your sink. We can help you resolve this issue by replacing your unit’s gaskets and resealing your garbage disposal conclusively
