SOME TIPS YOU CAN TRY BEFORE CALLING A PLUMBER
One of the most convenient appliances in your kitchen is your sink. Seeing as how the garbage disposal is installed on the busiest sink in your home and the amount of use it gets, eventually even the best disposal units will wear out. When replacing your garbage disposal, it is very important that you have a quality garbage disposal. A disposal's main purpose is handling food waste. When the disposal clogs or the rotors stop spinning you could be left with un-shredded food and stagnant water in the sink basin, as well as a huge headache.

Before Calling A Plumber Out
FIRST & FOREMOST - BE CAREFUL WHEN STICKING YOUR HAND INTO THE DISPOSAL DRAIN
- IF THE DISPOSAL IS NOT MAKING ANY SOUND
If the disposal is not making any sound - It could be an electrical issue. Check under the disposal and locate the reset button which can be most often found at the bottom of the unit and is red. It should be popped out. Press it in. If nothing changes after attempting the reset, check the circuit breaker. If the breaker in your panel is has not tripped and the reset button has not popped out, then the unit itself could be damaged and replacement is necessary.
- IF THE DISPOSAL IS HUMMING BUT THE BLADES ARE NOT ENGAGING
If the disposal is humming but blades are not engaging - it is possible it is clogged or "jammed" up. Turn off and unplug your disposal to ensure your unit will not power on. Inspect your disposal for any foreign objects or clumps of food stuck. BE CAREFUL WHEN STICKING YOUR HAND INTO THE DRAIN! The blades are sharp and can still cut you! Still not working? Luckily, today's garbage disposal units are designed so that anyone can remove a blockage safely. Each disposal comes equipped with a tiny wrench. If you've lost the wrench that came with the unit, you can purchase a new one or on most units an Allen wrench will suffice. Under the unit itself is a small hole in the center. Using the wrench, insert it through the hole until it hits the bottom of the disposal. Then turn it slightly so that it locks on the shredder plate of the unit. Turn the wrench back and forth to attempt to loosen the blades and free the blockage.
- STILL NOT WORKING AFTER TRYING THESE STEPS?
If you've tried the above fixes and the disposal is still not working, it could be it's time for a replacement. Call TKO Plumbing today for a professional diagnosis and repair of the problem.
