Frequently Asked Questions
How long do garbage disposals typically last?
Most garbage disposals last 8 to 15 years depending on usage and maintenance. If your unit is over 10 years old and has motor or leak issues, replacement is usually the better value.
Why does my disposal hum but not spin?
A humming sound with no spinning usually means the motor is receiving power but the flywheel is jammed. This can often be fixed by freeing the jam, but if the motor itself has failed, replacement is needed.
Can I install a garbage disposal myself?
While some homeowners attempt DIY installation, improper mounting and sealing can cause leaks and damage. Professional installation ensures the unit is mounted securely, sealed properly, and connected to the dishwasher drain correctly.
What should I avoid putting in my garbage disposal?
Avoid grease, oil, coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta, rice, and fibrous vegetables like celery. These can jam the blades or build up in your drain lines and cause clogs.
