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. Small blades housed inside of the disposal carve up debris into more manageable pieces, making it easier for the drains and piping system to handle. Most garbage disposals are energy-efficient fixtures, needing 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 it’s capable of breaking down. Moon Valley Plumbing technicians give your disposal a full assessment of the problem to ensure a long-term solution.
1. Your Garbage Disposal Isn’t Turning On
If your disposal won’t start, try pressing 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 are stuck. Damaged wiring may not be safe to inspect and repair, so we suggest leaving garbage disposal repair to certified technicians.
2. The Disposal’s Blades Aren’t Running
When the disposal turns on but the blades aren’t actually spinning, it could be an electrical error, a problem with the motor, or another malfunction somewhere between the blades and the motor. Our repair technicians will make sure the disposal is off before determining why the blades aren’t working.
Sometimes, a stubborn piece of debris has gotten stuck inside the disposal, catching the blades and making it harder for them to spin. 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
Evidence of a leak is a telltale sign there’s a problem with the disposal. If a piece of debris is hard enough, it could ruin internal components and potentially spring a leak. Localized water damage can also help you figure out there’s something wrong with the disposal. The next time you see mold in the kitchen, the garbage disposal may be to blame.
