How Do Garbage Disposals Work? What Are Some Common Disposal Problems?
Garbage disposals are designed to break down crumbs and similar leftovers before they can affect your plumbing system. Tiny blades housed inside the disposal cut up debris until the pieces are much smaller, preventing clogs from forming in the pipes. Your average disposal is an energy-efficient fixture, requiring minimal water and electricity to function.
If something goes wrong, it’s most often a result of an electrical issue or improper use. The most important thing to know about your garbage disposal is to learn what can and can’t go into it. Geisel Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc. technicians won’t rest until they fully understand the problem to ensure a long-term solution.
1. The Disposal Won’t Start
When a garbage disposal isn’t running in the first place, try pushing the reset button located on the unit. If your disposal still isn’t running, it’s routinely thanks to electrical problem or because the blades have gotten lodged against something. Damaged wiring may not be safe to inspect and repair, so it’s best to leave garbage disposal repair to skilled technicians.
2. The Disposal’s Blades Aren’t Running
When the disposal turns on but the blades won’t actually spin, it might be an electrical error, a problem with the motor, or another malfunction affecting the blades. For safety reasons, we make sure the disposal is off before find the root cause.
Every now and then, something like old food gets stuck inside the disposal, catching the blades and making it harder for them to spin. A disposal’s motor can spin the blades at speeds capable of injury, so never put your hand into the disposal if you aren’t certain it’s turned off and unplugged.
3. Leaks
Evidence of a leak is a telltale sign that something’s wrong with your garbage disposal. If a piece of debris is hard enough, it can crack or otherwise damage internal components and potentially spring a leak. Localized water damage can also help you figure out there’s something wrong with the disposal. If you see mold or damp spots underneath your sink, the garbage disposal may be to blame.

The Do's and Don'ts of What Goes in Your Garbage Disposal
Keeping track of what’s appropriate to put in your garbage disposal can be frustrating. Here are general guidelines:
1
Break pieces of food down as small as possible to make them easier to grind up.
Don’t throw in fibrous items like vegetable skins, which often clog up the blades.

Most liquids are fine, but garbage disposals can’t handle cooking oil and grease, which can solidify and gum up internal components.
Coffee grounds and eggshells can also cause problems, so avoid dumping them into your garbage disposal.
