Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Here are a few garbage disposal problems we frequently handle:

Garbage disposal won’t turn on.
Disposal makes noise but isn’t running properly.
Disposal is leaking.
Disposal stinks and the odor won’t diffuse.
Water won’t drain or is draining gradually through the disposal.

You should always drizzle cold water into the garbage disposal while crushing foods. Cold water sets oils that have been poured in. This makes it smoother for the system to break them up.

Garbage disposals also require frequent use to avoid rust.

Fixing a Leaky Garbage Disposal

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

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

Disposals may leak over time due to:

Deterioration on the seals
Detatched pipes
Flanges or gaskets that have dried out and split
Cracks in the garbage disposal body

Some disposals are connected to the dishwasher, which provides self-cleaning. This spot often suffers from leaks as well.

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

It can take a DIYer many hours to locate and complete simple repairs, so consider that with the cost when deciding to tackle the problem by yourself.

Having a professional technician like one from TML Service Experts determine and repair the problem can help locate other components that may be about to stop working. That way, you won’t find yourself dealing with the same disposal two weeks later.
