How can I tell if my garbage disposal needs to be repaired or replaced?

Your disposal may require repairs if it frequently gets clogged, makes loud noises, or doesn’t grind food effectively. If it is more than ten years old and has frequent problems, replacement is usually the better solution.

Is a jammed garbage disposal easy to fix?

Some minor jams can be cleared with the reset button or by gently turning the flywheel with an Allen wrench. If problems persist, call a professional to prevent further damage.

What should I avoid putting in my garbage disposal?

Never dispose of grease, oil, bones, hard items, fibrous foods like celery or corn husks, coffee grounds, eggshells, or non-food items such as plastic, glass, or metal. These can clog, damage, or wear down your disposal.
