Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Here are some garbage disposal troubles we commonly fix:

  • Garbage disposal won’t turn on.
  • Disposal makes noise but isn’t operating correctly.
  • Disposal is leaking.
  • Disposal reeks and the odor won’t diffuse.
  • Water won’t drain or is draining slowly through the disposal.

You should always run cold water into the garbage disposal while crushing foods. Cold water sets oils that have been discarded. This makes it smoother for the system to chop them up.

Garbage disposals also require everyday use to avoid malfunction.

Fixing a Leaky Garbage Disposal

A leaky garbage disposal can be repaired if you can find the part that's leading to the problem.

If you find a fatigued or leaky part, put in a new one. Don’t use plumber’s putty to fill cracks.

Disposals may leak over time due to:

  • Decay on the seals
  • Unsecured pipes
  • Flanges or gaskets that have dried out and split
  • Cracks in the garbage disposal body

Some disposals are linked to the dishwasher, which provides self-cleaning. This area commonly suffers from leaks as well.

These malfunctions can be repaired except for cracks in the body or interior lining of the disposal. If this is your problem, you will need to replace your garbage disposal.

It can take a DIYer an entire afternoon to find and make simple repairs, so include that in the cost when attempting to handle the problem without professional help.

Having an Expert technician like one from R & M Climate Control Service Experts diagnose and take care of the problem can help find other components that may be about to stop working. That way, you won’t find yourself fixing the same disposal two weeks later.
