Garbage Disposal Warning Signs

Is your kitchen sink becoming a nightmare? A broken garbage disposal can turn from a small annoyance into a major plumbing emergency fast! Catching these problems early saves you money and prevents water damage to your home.

Don’t ignore these warning signs! Your disposal is crying for help!

Strange Noises

Grinding or clanking sounds? Something’s probably stuck between the impeller and shredder ring. This jam stops smooth rotation and can wreck your unit if you let it go. Is your disposal making a humming sound but not actually grinding? That means the motor’s running but the blades aren’t moving – a sure sign of a jam that needs Sanders Plumbing’s professional touch.

Leaking Problems

Leaks are serious business! They can show up in three different spots. Top leaks usually mean the plumber’s putty around the sink flange has worn out. Side leaks? Those typically come from loose connections with your dishwasher hose or drain pipe. But if you see leaks from the bottom – that’s big trouble! Those point to failed internal seals or a cracked shell, and you’ll likely need a whole new unit.

No Power

Flip the switch and nothing happens? Electrical issues are probably to blame. From tripped breakers to wiring problems, these aren’t just inconvenient – they can be dangerous if not fixed right.

Terrible Smells

Even those “small” problems like bad smells mean food is trapped and rotting inside your disposal. While not as urgent as leaks or mechanical failures, these odors can take over your kitchen and show your disposal isn’t grinding effectively – which leads to clogs.

Most disposals only last 5-10 years before needing replacement. If you’re constantly hitting the reset button, getting poor performance, or dealing with any combination of these issues, your disposal might be on its last legs.
