Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?
A humming disposal that does not spin is usually jammed. There is often a reset button on the bottom of the unit and a hex key port to manually free the impellers — but if the jam does not clear easily, a plumber can help without damaging the motor.
Why is my garbage disposal leaking?
Disposals can leak from the sink flange, the dishwasher drain connection, the drain outlet or the body of the unit itself. The repair depends on where the leak originates.
When should I replace rather than repair a disposal?
If the motor has failed, the unit leaks from the body, or the disposal is older than eight to ten years with previous repairs, replacement is often the practical choice.
