Garbage Disposal Repair in the Greater Atlanta Area

A garbage disposal makes cleaning up the kitchen and doing dishes a breeze. Garbage disposals are often hit with hard food particles, such as bones, sticky food, and foreign objects, and are convenient tools until they stop working. Luckily, skilled appliance repair technicians can repair the garage disposal and restore kitchen functionality.

Reputable appliance repair technicians are highly trained and well-prepared for any appliance experience. They will assess the appliance to determine the cause for failure and advise a cost-effective and timely solution to have the garbage disposal up and running in no time. Whether it’s clogged, leaking, or just a faulty part, they can fix most problems. Homeowners rely on garbage disposals for easy cleanup, so they should contact an appliance repair service like Mr. Fixer Atlanta.

Common Garbage Disposal Issues:

  • Failure to work:

    When someone flips the switch for their garbage disposal, they expect it to turn on immediately. However, this is sometimes not the case. Sometimes, the disposal might fail to turn on, regardless of how often they try. If this happens, safely clear any debris and reset the disposal. When the debris is cleared, turn the disposal on. If there is a humming sound, but the blade will not turn, it could be the motor.

  • Clogged garbage disposal:

    Most of the time, people think they can just put anything they want in a garbage disposal; as lovely as that sounds, it’s just not the case. Foods such as grease, eggshells, coffee grounds, starchy foods, bones, or plastic should never be put into a garbage disposal. Unclogging the disposal is possible, but always disconnect it from the power supply before attempting it. Using a garbage disposal wrench, try to rotate the plate to clear the jam. If this does not work, contact Mr. Fixer Atlanta for professional assistance.

  • Leaking:

    If the garbage disposal leaks, it may indicate a loose rubber gasket or a sink flange. If the leak is coming from the garbage disposal, replacing it is the best option. If it is from the sink, it is likely a failed sing flange, which Mr. Fixer Atlanta can repair.

  • Loud and strange noises:

    If the garbage disposal makes strange or loud noises, these sounds can indicate a foreign object jammed in the disposal. These noises can result from a worn-out blade, loose mounting screws, or a broken flyweight. It could also be a metal object that inadvertently fell into the disposal and jammed the mechanism. Mr. Fixer Atlanta can help diagnose the problem and offer a solution to restore the disposal to working condition. Contact our appliance repair team so we can fix the issue immediately.

Garbage Disposal Clogs:

Most often, this comes from overloading the disposal with too much food. Following are a few tips to ensure the disposal doesn’t clog:

  • Don’t overload the disposal: Grind about 1 cup of food at a time. Any more than this may cause a jam.

  • Do not dispose of grease, coffee grounds, eggshells, corn husks, avocado leaves, or high-fiber starchy foods in the garbage disposal.

  • Clean the disposal monthly. Buy a store-bought disposal cleaner or mix hot water, baking soda, and vinegar to clean the disposal.

  • Two or three times a year, grind up a cup of ice cubes to sharpen the blades. Lemon rinds can reduce the smell that can come from the disposal.
