Common Problems

Disposal Won't Turn On

Flip the switch and get nothing -- no hum, no sound? That is electrical, not a jam. Tripped reset, tripped breaker, or bad switch are all quick fixes. Burned-out motor means replacement.
Disposal Jammed

Motor hums but nothing grinds? Something is wedged between the impeller and shred ring. Ten-minute fix with a 1/4-inch Allen wrench.
Disposal Leaking

Disposal leaks come from three places: top (sink flange), side (discharge pipe or dishwasher hose), or bottom (internal seal failure). Where it leaks tells you whether it is a simple fix or a replacement.
Bad Taste or Odor in Water

Water that tastes or smells off -- chlorine, rotten eggs, metallic, musty -- has a specific cause for each type. Identifying what it tastes or smells like is the fastest path to the right fix.
