Garbage disposals in Harrisburg help cut down on drain clogs, but if you put a lot of vegetable peels, grease, fat, or grains down the disposal, you still might end up with a clog. Grains expand when they’re in the water, fat can stick to the sides of your pipes, and vegetable peels can sneak past the teeth of your disposal.
If you have a humming sound coming from your disposal, it probably means there’s something jamming up the teeth. Fruit pits, stringy items, and anything that’s too hard or fibrous can jam things up and keep the unit from working. You don’t wanna keep trying to run your disposal in case the motor burns out, so go ahead and turn it off, and then give us a call.
You don’t ever wanna hear the sound of metal on metal coming from your disposal. If you do, or if your disposal is vibrating the whole kitchen, there’s probably something loose or off balance that’ll need to be tightened or fixed.
Hear that? Neither do we. If you flip the switch and there's no sound—no hum, no grind, just silence—your system might have an electrical problem. This could mean the unit isn't getting power, the wiring is faulty, or the disposal's internal electrical parts have failed.
Garbage disposals are tough, but they're not invincible. They work hard to make clean-up easier, but all that work can wear them out. Whether it's a jammed motor, stuck blades, or clogs, there's usually a reason—and knowing these causes can help prevent future issues. Here are common reasons why garbage disposal problems occur:
If you're dealing with any of these issues, consider getting professional garbage disposal repair in Harrisburg. We'll make sure your disposal is back in top shape quickly.
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 might be close to the price of a new unit. And if your disposal is over 8–10 years old, it's worth considering a replacement to avoid future issues. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of reasons to choose garbage disposal repair in Harrisburg over getting a new one, though. If the problem is minor, like a stuck blade or a clogged drain, a quick repair can have your disposal running again without needing a new unit. And if your disposal is relatively new and hasn't been giving you frequent trouble, fixing it is probably the most budget-friendly option. 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 working as good as new.
