Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my garbage disposal hum but not spin?

This usually means the flywheel is jammed or the motor is stuck. Turn it off and call CPR — forcing it could burn out the motor.

How long does a garbage disposal last?

Most units last 8–12 years, depending on usage and maintenance. If yours is older or frequently jams, replacement is often more cost-effective.

Can I install a garbage disposal myself?

DIY installs can lead to leaks or electrical issues. Always hire a licensed plumber for proper, code-compliant installation.

What foods should I avoid putting in my disposal?

Avoid coffee grounds, bones, eggshells, pasta, rice, fibrous vegetables, and grease — all of which can clog your drain or damage the blades.
