How Do Garbage Disposals Work? What Are Some Common Disposal Problems?
Garbage disposals are designed to break down crumbs and similar leftovers before they can affect your plumbing system. Compact blades encased within the disposal cut up debris into more manageable pieces, making it easier for the drains and piping system to handle. Your average disposal is an energy-efficient fixture, requiring smaller amounts water and electricity to function.
In the event it stops working right, it’s usually because of an electrical issue or improper use. The best way to avoid damaging your garbage disposal is to learn what can and can’t go into it. Freedom Heating & Cooling technicians find the root cause of the problem to ensure a long-term solution.
1. Your Garbage Disposal Isn’t Turning On
When a garbage disposal isn’t running in the first place, try pushing the reset button located on the unit. If your disposal still isn’t running, it’s often because there’s electrical problem or because the blades have gotten lodged against something. Electrical damage like this may be dangerous to inspect and repair, so it’s almost always better to leave garbage disposal repair to professional technicians.
2. The Blades Aren’t Moving Even Though the Motor Is
If you’ve started the disposal but the blades aren’t actually spinning, it can be the consequence of an electrical error, a damaged motor, or another malfunction affecting the blades. To avoid injury, we check that the disposal is off before find the root cause.
Occasionally, a stubborn piece of debris has gotten stuck inside the disposal, grabbing the blades and preventing rotation. Broken or malfunctioning blades are capable of injury, so make sure never to reach into a garbage disposal if you aren’t certain it’s turned off and unplugged.
3. Leaks
A consistent leak can be a telltale sign your disposal may be damaged. If a piece of debris is hard enough, it may damage internal components and potentially spring a leak. Nearby water damage is another way you might realize there’s something wrong with the disposal. The next time you see mold in the kitchen, the garbage disposal may be to blame.
