Common problems

What's your garbage disposal doing?

These are common causes. A home visit confirms the actual cause before any repair.

Hums but won’t spin

Usually a jam between the flywheel and grind ring, or a seized motor. Switch it off at the wall before checking.

Does nothing at all

Often the unit’s reset button has tripped, a breaker or GFCI has tripped, or the switch or motor has failed.

Leaking under the sink

Commonly a loose mounting ring, a worn sink flange seal, a loose drain or dishwasher hose connection, or a cracked housing.

Draining slowly or backing up

Typically a clog in the drain line below the disposal, or a disposal that’s no longer grinding well.

Before you call

Three quick checks

  1. Find the model number

    Usually on a label inside the door, on the frame, or on the back panel.

  2. Note any error code

    Write down codes or blinking lights. They help narrow the cause.

  3. Stay safe

    If it's sparking, leaking or smells of burning, unplug it (and shut off gas or water if relevant) until it's checked.
