Why Garbage Disposal Units Fail
There are a variety of reasons why garbage disposal can fail. The quickest way to try to fix it is first to press the reset button. If that doesn’t work it may be a clogged drain which can be an expensive problem. Garbage disposals are designed to get rid of food waste. In a clogged drain, waste can sit for hours or even days. Then, when you open the drain, there could be an unpleasant surprise. You could also experience odors in your kitchen. Odors can come from bacteria that has been decomposing in the drain, so it’s important that you regularly clean your drain. If you do not keep the drain clean, it may eventually clog. If you have a leak in the drain, that is another common cause of garbage disposal failure. Water can seep into the garbage disposal. Water can also leak into the drain from the sink.
A clogged drain is one of the most common reasons for garbage disposals to fail. The first thing that you should do is shut off the water supply to your garbage disposal. You should then turn off the power to the garbage disposal. You should then turn off the power to the refrigerator. You should also turn off the power to the washer and the dryer. Make sure that no one is using the appliances. You can then try unclogging the drain manually. If that doesn’t work, you should call a plumber to help you out.
The next step that you should take is to replace the rubber stopper of the drain.
Many of us use our disposal to get rid of food scraps, especially in our kitchens. If you don’t use it regularly, removing food scraps that have sat in the unit for a long time can be difficult. When food scraps sit in the garbage disposal for a long time, they can begin to decompose. Bacteria can grow on food scraps. Over time, the bacteria can grow to levels where it begins to smell. To solve this problem, you should make sure that you use your disposal every day. If you do, you should regularly empty the trash from your sink. You should also change the water in your sink regularly to ensure that the water drains properly.
