Identifying the Problem With Your Garbage Disposal

Jammed Motor

Remember that noise we talked about earlier? It's usually due to motor issues—specifically, a stuck motor that's struggling to turn. This can stop the disposal from breaking down food waste, leaving you with a dirty sink and a lot of cleanup. It's a problem that can halt the system entirely if not addressed.

Stuck Blades

It's just as annoying as you'd think. If the blades of your garbage disposal can't spin, then it's unable to break down food. This leads to waste buildup and lingering smells. The disposal might hum or buzz, but without the blades moving, it's not really doing its job.

Clogs

Blockages in a garbage disposal usually mean that water isn't draining as it should, leading to a backed-up and non-functional sink. The trapped food waste can also create a bad smell that quickly fills the kitchen. A blocked disposal can feel like a complete roadblock to your daily routine, making it tough to clean dishes or tidy up after meals.

Electrical Issues

Hear anything? We don't either. If you flip the switch and there's no sound—no hum, no whir, just silence—your system is likely facing an electrical issue. This might mean the unit isn't getting power, the wiring is damaged, or the internal electrical parts of the disposal have failed.

How to Keep the Plumber Away

Garbage disposals in Denver can be prone to breakdowns because not everyone knows what their disposal can handle. We don’t expect you to memorize a list of garbage disposals, their horsepower, and what they can grind. We can point you in the right direction for YOUR disposal.

With most garbage disposals, you’re safe to put down small pieces of meat, vegetables, and fruit. Bite-size or smaller is usually best. But you’ll wanna stay away from hard, stringy, greasy, or expandable food. Watch out for egg shells, coffee grounds, grease, vegetable peelings, oats, rice, and pasta. These can all clog up the drains even if they make it past your disposal.

Stay away from fruit pits that can jam up the teeth of your disposal. Most disposals also can’t handle bones or nuts. Stringy food like celery or asparagus can jam things up. Finally, if it’s not food, don’t grind it!

Is It Time to Replace the System?

There's a fine line between fixing and replacing, especially with garbage disposals. They're not the most expensive appliances (though they're definitely among the most useful), so sometimes the cost of a repair can come close to the price of a new model. And if your disposal is more than 8–10 years old, it's worth considering a replacement to avoid future problems. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of reasons to choose garbage disposal repair in Denver over replacement, though. If the problem is minor, like a stuck blade or a blocked drain, a quick repair can have your disposal up and running again without needing a new model. And if your disposal is fairly new and hasn't had frequent problems, fixing it is likely the most cost-effective choice. When you work with Morris-Jenkins, we'll lay out all your options and help you make the best decision! We're here for you, and we'll make sure your system is running as good as new.
