Garbage Disposal Questions, Answered
Why is my garbage disposal humming?
Humming usually means something is jamming the blades or the motor is failing. Turn off the power to the unit and avoid reaching inside. We can clear the jam safely or tell you if it is time for a new disposal.
What shouldn’t go down a garbage disposal?
Avoid grease, fibrous vegetables, coffee grounds, eggshells, bones, and pasta or rice in large amounts. These can jam the unit or clog your drain line.
