Garbage Disposal
Dealing with a jammed or broken garbage disposal? The reason garbage disposal problems are so common is due to the widespread misconception that they’re designed to process food leftovers. In reality, a garbage disposal should be thought of more as a draining assistant than a trash can. It’s really intended to handle very light food items and particles that unintentionally make their way down the drain. By mincing these items into tiny pieces, a garage disposal helps to prevent drain clogs.
Whether you’re in need of a garbage disposal repair or replacement, FixEm Appliance is here to take care of it!
Common Issues:
- Garbage disposal is leaking
- Garbage disposal is humming but not grinding
- Garbage disposal is humming and smoke is coming out
- Garbage disposal is not draining and there is standing water in the sink
- Garbage disposal won’t turn on
Things to Remember:
- Always run water when running a garbage disposal.
- Do not continue to run the garbage disposal if it is only humming and not moving.
- Before reaching into a garbage disposal to remove debris, always make sure power is disconnected.
- Do not intentionally put food into your garbage disposal. It is meant to handle food particles that accidentally go down the drain—it is not intended to be a food processor.
