Disposals are simple machines, but they combine water, electricity and blades. Never put your hand in one.
Signs you need a plumber
- Disposal hums but doesn't spin
- Nothing happens when you flip the switch
- Water leaking under the sink
- Grinding or rattling noises
- Sink draining slowly after using the disposal
Common causes
Jammed flywheel
A hard object or fibrous food stops the grinding plate.
Tripped overload
The motor's reset button trips when it overheats or jams.
Failed seals or cracked housing
Leaks from the bottom of the unit usually mean it needs replacing.
Clogged drain line
Ground food can still clog the line beyond the disposal.
What you can safely do first
- Turn the disposal off at the switch and unplug it or turn off its breaker
- Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit
- Use the hex key that came with it in the bottom socket to free a jam, with power off
- Never reach into the disposal
How we diagnose it
We check power, the reset and the motor, free any jam, and inspect the mounting, seals and drain connections. If the unit is leaking from its body or the motor has failed, we'll recommend replacement and size it to your use.
