Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Here are several garbage disposal problems we regularly handle:

Garbage disposal won’t run.
Disposal makes noise but isn’t working properly.
Disposal is leaking.
Disposal smells bad and the scent won’t go away.
Water won’t drain or is draining gradually through the disposal.

You should always run cold water into the garbage disposal while eliminating foods. Cold water solidifies greases that have been discarded. This makes it smoother for the system to break them up.

Garbage disposals also need frequent use to avoid rust.

Fixing a Leaky Garbage Disposal

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

If you find a worn out 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 broken
Breaks in the garbage disposal body

Some disposals are connected to the dishwasher, which provides self-cleaning. This area often experiences leaks as well.

These malfunctions can be fixed 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 a lot of time to diagnose and make simple repairs, so include that in the cost when attempting to tackle the problem without professional help.

Having a skilled technician like one from Stallion Heating Plumbing Air Conditioning diagnose and fix the problem can help catch other components that may be about to go out. That way, you won’t end up repairing the same disposal two weeks later.
