Warning signs
Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Repair
Most disposal trouble starts small and gets worse the longer you wait. A unit that hums without spinning, drains slowly, or smells off is telling you something needs attention before it stops working altogether.
Our technicians handle appliance troubleshooting on disposals of every age and brand, so you don't have to guess what's wrong. Watch for these common warning signs:
- Humming or buzzing sound with no blade movement
- Frequent jams that need a wrench to clear
- Water leaking from underneath the sink
- Slow draining or standing water after use
- Strange grinding, rattling, or clicking noises
- Persistent odors even after cleaning
