Time Estimate:
Your garbage disposal is the unsung hero of your kitchen. Installed under the sink, it grinds up food waste into small particles, allowing it to safely pass through your drain system.
It prevents sink clogs and reduces food waste in your trash bins (and the landfill).
A good unit can handle veggie scraps, soft food waste, and even light leftovers — when used properly.

Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?
That usually means the flywheel is jammed or the motor is stuck. It could be caused by a hard object (like a bone or utensil) blocking the blades. We can safely clear the jam and check for deeper issues like motor failure or wiring faults.
Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?
If your disposal is under 8 years old and the issue is minor (like a clog, jam, or worn gasket), a repair may be all you need. But if it’s leaking, cracked, or the motor is burned out, a replacement or upgrade is often the more reliable, cost-effective option.

What should I never put down the garbage disposal?
Avoid putting these items in the disposal:
Pasta, rice, or starchy items that expand
These can jam or damage the unit and clog your pipes.
Is it worth upgrading to a higher-horsepower model?
Yes — especially if you cook often or have a large household. Upgraded disposals are quieter, more powerful, and longer-lasting, with better warranties and multi-stage grinding to handle tougher food waste with less noise.
How do I keep my disposal clean and smelling fresh?
Once a month, grind ice cubes, lemon slices, and baking soda to freshen the unit and remove buildup. Also, run cold water for 10–15 seconds before and after each use to flush the drain line.
