Garbage Disposal Common Problems We Fix
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, it’s time to call in the experts. We have seen and solved it all.
- The disposal is humming but the blades aren't spinning. This is a classic sign of a jam.
- The unit won't turn on at all. There is no sound or movement when you flip the switch.
- Water is leaking from the bottom of the disposal. This can cause water damage to your cabinets.
- The sink is draining very slowly or not at all. This indicates a significant clog in the unit or your pipes.
- Loud, unusual grinding or rattling noises. This could mean a foreign object is in the disposal or internal components are broken.
- Foul odors that won't go away. This often points to trapped food waste and a need for a deep clean or repair.

What Our Customers Are Saying
He came out after work hours, which we truly appreciated, and did an amazing job cleaning our refrigerator. It was full of dust buildup, and he took his time to thoroughly clean everything. You can tell he really cares about the quality of his work.
On top of that, when we asked if he could also take a look at our dryer, he didn’t hesitate or say no. Even though it meant staying longer than he was supposed to, he gladly did it and made sure everything was finished properly. Our dryer now looks so clean and almost brand new!
It’s rare to find someone so professional, hardworking, and willing to go the extra mile. We’re very thankful for Moses and highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable and detailed appliance service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my garbage disposal just humming?
A humming sound typically indicates the motor is receiving power, but the blades are jammed by food waste (like potato peels) or a foreign object (like a bottle cap). You should turn it off immediately to prevent the motor from burning out.
What should I never put down my garbage disposal?
To prevent jams and damage, avoid putting hard items like bones and fruit pits, fibrous vegetables like celery and corn husks, starchy foods like pasta and potato peels, and grease or coffee grounds down the disposal.
Why is my disposal leaking?
Leaks can originate from several places: the sink flange at the top, the dishwasher connection on the side, or the main body of the unit itself. It’s important to have this inspected by a professional.
My garbage disposal won't turn on. What should I do?
First, check for a red or black reset button on the bottom of the unit and press it. If that doesn’t work, check your circuit breaker. If it still won’t start, it’s time to call for service.
How much does it cost to fix a garbage disposal?
The cost varies depending on the issue. A simple jam or clog removal is relatively inexpensive, while a leak repair or motor issue will cost more. We provide a clear estimate before any work begins.
Is it better to repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If your unit is over 10 years old, has persistent leaks from its main housing, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is often the more economical choice in the long run.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to clear a clog?
No, you should avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners. They can damage the plastic and metal components of your garbage disposal and are often ineffective against solid jams.
How can I clean my garbage disposal and get rid of odors?
For a quick clean, grind a few ice cubes to scrub the blades, followed by some citrus peels (lemon, orange) to freshen the scent. For a deeper clean, you can use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.
