Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Here are some garbage disposal issues we regularly fix:

Garbage disposal won’t start.
Disposal makes noise but isn’t operating properly.
Disposal is leaking.
Disposal reeks and the smell won’t dissipate.
Water won’t drain or is draining slowly through the disposal.

You should always run cold water into the garbage disposal while breaking down foods. Cold water solidifies oils that have been discarded. This makes it easier for the system to break them up.

Garbage disposals also require everyday use to avoid corrosion.

Fixing a Leaky Garbage Disposal

A leaky garbage disposal can be repaired if you can find the part that's leading to the problem.

If you find a worn out 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
Unsecured pipes
Flanges or gaskets that have dried out and split
Breaks 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 malfunctions can be fixed except for cracks in the body or interior lining of the disposal. If this is your problem, you will need to replace your garbage disposal.

It can take a DIYer a lot of time to locate and complete simple repairs, so factor that into the cost when attempting to take care of the problem on your own.

Having a professional technician like one from Sunbeam Service Experts identify and take care of the problem can help catch other components that may be about to go out. That way, you won’t find yourself repairing the same disposal two weeks later.
