Common Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Service

When your garabge disposal needs repairs, it will start to show signs. Be on the lookout for the following indicators that you need to schedule professional garbage disposal services:

• Frequent jamming: If the disposal gets stuck often, even with soft foods, the blades or motor may be failing.
• Unusual noises: Grinding, rattling, metal-on-metal sounds, or loud humming often indicate damaged blades or a stalled motor.
• Persistent clogs or slow draining: A disposal that constantly backs up or drains slowly may have dull blades, internal buildup, or failing components.
• Foul odors that won’t go away: Lingering smells that don’t disappear after cleaning often mean trapped food, buildup, or internal damage.
• Leaks under the sink: Water pooling beneath the unit usually points to cracks in the disposal body, loose seals, or worn-out connections.
• Unit won’t turn on: If your garbage disposal won’t start, even after resetting, it could indicate an electrical issue, motor failure, or wiring problem.
• Vibration or shaking: Excessive movement often means loose components, imbalanced blades, or mounting problems.

What Not to Put Down the Garbage Disposal

The best way to avoid garbage disposal issues is to be mindful of what goes into the disposal. While garbage disposals are a significant convenience, they can’t handle every bit of food waste. Avoid putting the following down your garbage disposal:

• Grease, fats, and oils
• Fibrous foods, such as celery, corn husks, and onion skins
• Eggshells
• Coffee grounds
• Pasta, rice, and oatmeal
• Bones
• Fruit pits
• Nuts and shells
• Potato peels
• Non-food items, including plastic, metal, glass, and paper

In addition to not putting any of these items down your disposal, you should also make sure to run cold water when using the disposal and feed food into your disposal slowly. Practicing these steps will help ensure your garbage disposal works reliably.
