How Do Garbage Disposals Work? What Are Some Common Disposal Problems?
Garbage disposals are built to break down food waste before it affects your plumbing system. Small blades housed inside of the disposal cut up debris until the pieces are much smaller, making it easier for the drains and piping system to handle. Your average disposal is an energy-efficient fixture, requiring smaller amounts water and electricity to function.
If a malfunction appears, it’s frequently traced back to an electrical issue or improper use. The best way to protect your garbage disposal is to learn what it’s capable of breaking down. Hays Cooling, Heating & Plumbing technicians find the root cause of the problem to ensure a long-term solution.
1. Your Garbage Disposal Isn’t Turning On
When a garbage disposal isn’t running in the first place, try pressing the reset button located on the unit. If the disposal still won’t start, it’s routinely thanks to electrical problem or because the blades have gotten lodged against something. Damaged wiring may not be safe to inspect and repair, so we suggest leaving garbage disposal repair to skilled technicians.
2. The Blades Aren’t Moving Even Though the Motor Is
If you hear the disposal but the blades aren’t actually spinning, it can be the consequence of an electrical error, a damaged motor, or another malfunction affecting the blades. To avoid injury, we check that the disposal is off before looking for obstructions.
Every now and then, something like old food gets stuck inside the disposal, catching the blades and making it harder for them to spin. A disposal’s motor can spin the blades at speeds capable of injury, so keep hands and tools out of the disposal if you aren’t certain it’s turned off and unplugged.
3. Leaks
Leaking is a telltale sign your disposal may be damaged. As food waste solidifies and hardens, it may damage internal components and potentially spring a leak. Localized water damage is another way you might realize there’s something wrong with the disposal. If you see mold or damp spots underneath your sink, the garbage disposal may be to blame.
