Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Here are some garbage disposal issues we frequently repair:

Garbage disposal won’t run.
Disposal makes noise but isn’t operating correctly.
Disposal is leaking.
Disposal stinks and the smell won’t dissipate.
Water won’t drain or is draining slowly through the disposal.

You should always run cold water into the garbage disposal while breaking down foods. Cold water solidifies greases that have been dumped in. This makes it simpler for the system to break them up.

Garbage disposals also require everyday use to avoid malfunction.

Fixing a Leaky Garbage Disposal

A leaky garbage disposal can be fixed if you can find the part that's leading to the problem.

If you find a beat up or leaky part, put in a new one. Don’t use plumber’s putty to plug cracks.

Disposals may leak over time due to:

Deterioration on the seals
Loose pipes
Flanges or gaskets that have dried out and cracked
Breaks in the garbage disposal body

Some disposals are connected to the dishwasher, which provides self-cleaning. This location commonly has leaks as well.

These issues can be fixed except for cracks in the body or interior lining of the disposal. If this is your problem, you will need to install a new garbage disposal.

It can take a DIYer many hours to diagnose and complete simple repairs, so consider that with the cost when attempting to tackle the problem on your own.

Having a skilled technician like one from Stark Services determine and repair the problem can help catch other pieces that may be about to stop working. That way, you won’t be fixing the same disposal two weeks later.
