How to Fix a Garbage Disposal

Never put your hand inside the garbage disposal. Always turn the power off before performing any checks. Here are some preliminary steps you can take before calling Owens Cross Roads Plumbing Services:

• Check the power: Press the reset button at the bottom of the unit. If that doesn’t work, check your main circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If the issue continues, contact us for professional help.
• Check for clogs: Disconnect the unit and clear the trap under the sink. If you find debris, use a drain snake to remove it. Reassemble and check if the clog is gone.
• Turn the blades: If the blades are stuck due to food waste, rotate them manually to free them. If the jam persists, call us.
• Look for water leaks: Leaks often occur at the sink flange, discharge pipe, or dishwasher connection. Tighten or replace the parts as needed. For sealant leaks, use an appropriate solution to seal them.
