Frequently Asked Questions

A humming sound usually means the disposal is jammed — food or a foreign object is stuck and stopping the blades from turning. Don’t keep flipping the switch, as that can burn out the motor. This is an easy fix in most cases.

Often, yes. Leaks at the connections, mounting, or seals can usually be repaired. If the leak is coming from a crack in the body of the unit, replacement is the better option.

Avoid grease, bones, coffee grounds, eggshells, and fibrous foods like celery or potato peels. These are the most common causes of jams and clogs.

Most repairs are finished in a single visit. The exact time depends on the problem — a simple jam is quick, while a motor or wiring issue takes a little longer.

Odors are usually caused by trapped food debris. A cleaning or routine maintenance normally clears it — it doesn’t mean the unit is broken.

Run cold water before, during, and after use, avoid overloading it, and don’t put hard or fibrous waste down it. Regular use also prevents parts from seizing.
