Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Humming but not grinding

The motor is getting power, but something is stuck. A jam from bones, pits, or utensils is common. A seized motor is another possibility.

Not turning on at all

The reset button may have tripped. A bad wall switch, wiring issue, or failed motor can also be the cause.

Leaking under the sink

Leaks can come from the sink flange, the dishwasher hose connection, the drain pipe, or a cracked housing. A leak from the bottom of the unit usually means it needs to be replaced.

Slow draining

Food buildup in the disposal or drain line can slow water flow.

Loud grinding or rattling

Metal or hard objects may be inside, or internal parts may be worn.

Bad smell

Food residue builds up inside the grinding chamber.

Why Garbage Disposals Jam and Leak

A garbage disposal handles food, grease and water every day, and Colorado Springs hard water leaves mineral scale in the drain line and around seals. A jam from a hard item, a seized motor, a worn seal and a loose sink flange are the problems we see most often. Slow draining often comes from a partly blocked drain pipe rather than the disposal itself. We check whether the unit is jammed, humming or leaking, and we tell you if repair, replacement or a drain cleaning makes the most sense.

When your garbage disposal is humming or leaking, a quick call saves time. Reach us at (614) 543 4437 or book online, and a local technician will explain what is wrong before any work starts.

Garbage Disposal Repair in Colorado Springs

Safe Things to Try First

  • Turn off the disposal switch before doing anything.
  • Press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit.
  • Never put your hand inside the disposal.
  • If it is jammed, many models have a hex socket on the bottom for a special wrench that turns the motor by hand.

If this does not work, call us.

Repair or Replace?

Many disposal problems can be repaired. A disposal that leaks from its body or has a burned-out motor usually needs to be replaced. We can install a new unit and connect it to your dishwasher drain properly.
