Signs Your Garbage Disposal May Need Service
If you notice any of the following problems, it may be time to schedule service:
- The disposal hums but does not grind.
- Water drains slowly or backs up in the sink.
- The unit leaks under the sink.
- You notice unpleasant odors that keep returning.
- The disposal jams often or needs repeated resets.
- The unit makes unusual grinding or rattling noises.
- The disposal is no longer running at all.
Some disposal problems are caused by clogs or wear inside the unit, while others may point to a larger drain or plumbing issue. Having the system checked early can help prevent more frustrating kitchen backups and unnecessary damage under the sink.
What Should and Should Not Go Down a Garbage Disposal
A garbage disposal is designed for small food scraps and not as a replacement for the trash can. Using it correctly can reduce jams, odors, and drain clogs.
| Usually okay in small amounts | Keep out of the disposal |
|---|---|
| Small fruit and vegetable scraps | Grease, oil, and fats |
| Soft, small pieces of cooked food | Coffee grounds |
| Citrus peels in small amounts | Rice, pasta, and other expandable foods |
| Small amounts of soft food residue | Stringy or fibrous foods, such as celery and corn husks |
| Large bones, shells, or hard pits | |
| Metal, plastic, glass, paper, or other non-food items |
Run cold water before, during, and briefly after using the disposal. Never put your hand inside the unit. If the disposal is jammed, turn off power and schedule service if you cannot safely clear the issue.
