Disposals
What a disposal should never get
InSinkErator's care and use manual lists clam or oyster shells, caustic drain cleaners, glass, china, plastic, metal such as bottle caps, and hot grease or other hot liquids. On Builder Series and ES units, a jam is cleared from above: with the power and water off, turn the turntable with a wooden spoon and lift the object out with tongs.
A smell usually means food build-up: InSinkErator suggests scrubbing the underside of the sink baffle, then grinding ice cubes with lemon or lime wedges under cold water.
Garbage disposals handle daily food waste, making them essential kitchen appliances. When jammed, leaking, or failing to operate, quick service restores convenience. Our technicians diagnose and repair disposal problems efficiently, from simple jams to motor replacement. We also provide installation services when repair isn't cost-effective. All major disposal brands are serviced, ensuring reliable operation for this everyday kitchen necessity.
Disposal diagnosis begins with power verification at the unit. Reset buttons are checked. Jam conditions are evaluated - we safely clear jams and identify what caused them. Motor function is tested if power is confirmed but the unit doesn't operate. Leak sources are identified - connections, housings, or internal seals. This quick diagnostic determines whether repair or replacement is most appropriate.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
My disposal just hums but doesn't run. What's wrong?
Humming without grinding indicates a jam. The motor tries to turn but something blocks the blades. Turn off power and try rotating blades with an Allen wrench from below. If cleared, the disposal should operate. Persistent jams or no response after clearing may indicate motor issues.
Is it worth repairing an old garbage disposal?
Disposal repair economics depend on the problem. Jam clearing and minor repairs are worthwhile. Major motor issues in older units often favor replacement, as new disposals are relatively affordable. We provide honest recommendations.
Why does my disposal smell bad?
Odors result from food debris buildup inside the unit. Run disposal with water longer to flush waste completely. Grinding ice cubes helps clean blades. Periodically grinding citrus peels freshens the disposal.

“The disposal hummed, quit, and tripped its reset every time we ran it. A peach pit had jammed the impeller and chewed up the splash guard on its way in. He freed the flywheel, fitted a new guard, and showed me where the reset sits.”
“The fresh food side of our Sub-Zero crept up near fifty while the freezer stayed fine. The condenser fan had seized and the grille behind it was packed with dust from our renovation. New fan motor, coils vacuumed, temperature steady since.”
“Our Wolf range baked about forty degrees under whatever I dialed in. He clipped a meter to the oven sensor, showed me how far it had drifted, fitted a new one and reset the offset. Bread rises the way it used to.”
“Water pooled under the crisper drawers of our Viking every few days. He found the drain tube iced shut, thawed and cleared it, then rerouted the line so it empties properly. Under an hour, and he wiped the floor down before leaving.”
