Common Causes of Failure
Garbage disposers may be one of the most misused appliances in any home. Few people realize that they are only designed to handle light food residue rinsed from plates and cooking utensils before they enter the dishwasher.
Large quantities of food and debris can overwhelm the unit and clog the kitchen sink drain. Few things are more frustrating than a kitchen sink that won’t drain, but Precise Plumbing Services will repair or replace broken disposers in no time. Additionally, units naturally wear out over time and will eventually require professional replacement.
Troubleshooting: Why is my garbage disposal humming?
Garbage disposals often hum when they are overloaded or when a foreign object is lodged inside. To attempt a fix:
Reset the Unit: Press the reset button located on the bottom of the disposer.
Inspect the Drain: If resetting fails, turn off the power and shine a flashlight into the drain to look for objects like coins or plastic ties.
Clear the Jam: Remove items with pliers—never put your hand inside a disposer. Use a hex key jam clearing tool in the slot at the bottom of the unit to turn it back and forth.
