Common Causes of Garbage Disposal Breakdowns

Garbage disposals handle a lot. Many of us use them to chew up and dispose of our waste. However, after years of use, garbage disposals are prone to problems just like any other machine.

If your garbage disposal doesn't turn on, take the following steps:

  • Avoid putting your hands into your unit.
  • Make sure the appliance is plugged into a working outlet.
  • Turn off the disposal switch.
  • Press the reset switch, likely located on the front or bottom of the unit.
  • Try powering the unit on to see if it is working.

If the above does not work, it’s time to call the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing experts. Our team is ready to quickly come to your home, diagnose the problem, and provide a solution that gets your garbage disposal working once again.

Common garbage disposal issues include:

  • Odor
  • Clogs
  • Humming motors with limited to no grinding
  • Louder than usual noises
  • Leaks below the unit
  • Water pooling in sink area
  • Disposals that will not turn on or will not stay on
