Common Disposal Breakdown Reasons
Understanding why a disposal fails can help prevent future issues. The most common reasons we see broken units include hard objects accidentally dropped in, starchy foods swelling up and causing clogs, and grease hardening in the drain lines. Homeowners often overlook the simple red reset button located on the bottom of the unit when it suddenly stops working, which is the first thing we check.
Our Troubleshooting and Repair Process
We focus on repair over replacement whenever possible, providing an honest assessment of your unit’s health:
- Safety First: We always confirm the power is off at the breaker and use insulated tools to clear any internal jam safely.
- Diagnosis: We check the reset button, the wall switch, and the electrical connection before inspecting the unit for jams or motor failure.
- Component Check: If the motor has failed, we assess whether replacing the entire unit is more cost-effective than repairing internal components.
- Leak Repair: We use new gaskets and seals to stop any leaks coming from the unit's connection points.
