Garbage Disposal
The most common problems with Garbage Disposals are:
Jamming
Leaking
Burned Out Motor
If your Garbage Disposal makes noise but is not spinning, please TURN IT OFF immediately. Most likely something is stuck inside. You can check it yourself, but make sure to:
Unplug the Garbage Disposal (Confirm you unplugged the correct cord)
Sometimes all you need is to clean the Disposal and push the reset button on the bottom of the unit.
If your Garbage Disposal is leaking, it needs to be replaced.
Please, if you can't fix the problem yourself in a safe way, call a specialist. We are at your service.
