Common Issues
Won't Turn On
Usually a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or loose wire connection. Quick electrical fix. The reset button under your disposal might need to be pressed. Sometimes the wall switch stops working properly. Older Glendale homes often have outdated electrical panels that cause these problems. We check all the wiring connections to make sure everything is safe and secure.
Jammed Blades
Hard objects like bones or silverware stop the motor. We remove the jam safely.
Water Leaking
Worn gaskets or loose connections let water drip under your sink. Creates mold risk.
Strange Noises
Grinding or rattling sounds mean damaged blades or loose parts inside the unit.
Bad Smells
Food buildup or poor drainage creates nasty odors that won't go away with cleaning.
Slow Draining
Clogs in the drain line below the disposal back up water into your sink.

Should I try to fix it myself?
Don’t try to repair electrical problems or remove jammed objects yourself. You could get hurt or damage the unit worse. Simple resets are fine, but call us for anything else.
