Does Your Garbage Disposal Need Replacement?

Let's Check a Few Things First


Many don't know that there are a couple things that can be done that may resolve the issues you are having.


  1. Under the disposal is a button to reset it. Try hitting that button and see if that resolves the issue.

  2. Every garbage disposal wrench (Allen wrench). There is a place for the wrench under the unit. When the unit locks up, often the wrench can free it up and allow it to run properly again. If yours is missing, as they are often discarded during installation or misplaced after time, you can pick up at Home Depot or Lowes for about $10.

If neither of these work, or the disposal is leaking there is a good chance a replacement is need.
