Common Causes of Garbage Disposal Issues
Most garbage disposal issues are electrical or mechanical, though some more interesting problems can develop as well. Here are a few of the most common issues we encounter:
- Drain blockages: If something tough, hard, or fibrous has tangled or blocked your garbage disposal, it needs to be removed carefully to avoid further damage to your unit.
- Drain pipe wear:Â It’s common to develop drain issues over time due to misuse or malfunction of your disposal.Â
- Mechanical failure:Â If the grinding rotor comes loose within your disposal, you’ll need repairs to end the noise and inefficiency.
- Electrical issues: Loose wiring or a faulty outlet prevents your garbage disposal from getting the power it needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shouldn't you put down your garbage disposal?
- Oils, fats, grease, and butter
- Coffee grounds
- Sticky, sugary foods
- Rice, pasta, and potatoes
- Fibrous vegetables
- Trash and other non-food items
How can I keep my garbage disposal running well?
Always run your garbage disposal with water, then run water for a few seconds after to clean it and clear your drains. You should also routinely clean your disposal with a vinegar and baking soda mixture.
Why did my garbage disposal suddenly stop working?
The most common source of this issue is the circuit breaker tripping. Check the underside of your garbage disposal. There should be a button you can press, much like the buttons you find on GFCI outlets in your kitchen.
If your disposal turns back on but it’s stuck and cuts off again, try unwinding it with an Allen wrench inserted into the underside. If that doesn’t work, or your disposal won’t turn back on, give us a call.
