Garbage Disposal Repair problems can be a challenge when they stop working by causing odors in the disposal and stoppages. When you have a disposal that has stopped working sometimes you can push the reset button, located under the disposal, and this will reset the breaker to turn the electricity back on internally in the disposal. By pushing the button you may not have corrected all the problems with the disposal for it to continue to work properly. Look below the garbage disposal and you will find a hex slot where you can place a tool to turn the gears in the disposal to free it up. Most of the time doing this and pressing the reset button is all that is needed for the disposal to work again. Please see below for more repair information. If you think the disposal is worn to the point it needs replacing you may want to contact us to install a new one for you.
Clean Your disposal with ice cubes and rock salt. This will help to clean out debris that can be left inside the disposal from grinding up food.
