If it is still experiencing issues, call Len The Plumber Heating &#038; Air for repair. Fortunately, most disposal problems are relatively minor. Many issues come from putting the wrong things down your garbage disposal, which can cause it to jam. Whatever the issue, we\u2019ll diagnose it and repair it to bring your garbage disposal back up to speed.<\/p>\n<h2>What Should You Avoid Putting Down Your Garbage Disposal?<\/h2>\n<p>Your garbage disposal does a great job of churning up and liquefying food waste to take it off your hands. However, certain items or substances can damage it, wear down the motor, or cause it to jam. Extend the life of your unit and avoid the need for repair service by keeping these items out of your garbage disposal:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Grease, fats, lard, and oils<\/li>\n<li>Pulpy materials like paper, wood, or pumpkin<\/li>\n<li>Large or hard food items<\/li>\n<li>Meat, skin, and bones<\/li>\n<li>Fibrous foods like celery and banana peels<\/li>\n<li>Apple seeds or peach pits<\/li>\n<li>Coconut shells and pineapple shoots<\/li>\n<li>Corn cobs or husks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>DIY Tips to Fix Minor Garbage Disposal Problems<\/h2>\n<p>Some garbage disposal problems can be resolved with a simple fix that you can perform yourself. If your disposal stops working and you\u2019re feeling handy, try these DIY tips before calling Len The Plumber Heating &#038; Air:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1. Reset your disposal.<\/strong> The bottom of your garbage disposal should have a RESET button. If you can\u2019t find it, look up your garbage disposal on the manufacturer\u2019s website for instructions. If the motor jams, turn the disposal off and wait a few minutes, then firmly press this button.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2. Unjam your disposal from the bottom.<\/strong> Check to see if your disposal can be unjammed from the bottom. There should be a small, hexagonal hole where an Allen key can fit \u2013 turning this will allow you to turn the flywheel and attempt to dislodge the clog.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3. Check the power.<\/strong> This may seem obvious, but if your garbage disposal isn\u2019t responding at all when you turn it on, it may not be receiving power. If your disposal is plugged into an electrical receptacle under the sink, unplug it and test the outlet with another appliance to make sure it\u2019s working. If your disposal is hardwired to an electrical box, try resetting your circuit breaker panel by flipping it off and on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you try these tips and you still can\u2019t get your disposal to work, or if you discover that your garbage disposal is leaking, call Len The Plumber Heating &#038; Air! We can be at your home the same day for professional garbage disposal repair.<\/p>\n<h2>Garbage Disposal Installation &amp; Replacement Services<\/h2>\n<p>Garbage disposals last around 10-15 years, so if yours is approaching that range, you may want to consider a replacement.
