Repair for jammed, humming, leaking or dead garbage disposals, with honest advice on repair versus replacement.
A garbage disposal that hums but will not spin, leaks into the cabinet or has gone silent turns a kitchen sink into a daily annoyance. Disposals work hard in tight spaces: a motor, a grinding plate and a seal sit under the sink, joined to the drain and often to the dishwasher. In Nashville homes, where cooks put plenty through the sink, jams and leaks are common calls. Many jams can be cleared in minutes, while leaks and burnt-out motors are usually a sign that it is time for a new unit.
We clear jams safely, reset overloads, check the flange seal, drain connections and dishwasher inlet, and test the motor under load. If a leak comes from the body or the motor is dead, we tell you plainly that a new disposal is the better value and, when you agree, install one the same visit. We also give you simple habits for a longer life, like cold water, steady flow and what never to put down the drain.
A stuck flywheel often clears with a hex key and a reset, and we find what caused it.
Leaks at the flange or drain connections can be resealed. Leaks from the body mean replacement.
A tripped reset, a failed switch or a burnt motor each have different fixes.
A blocked or uncut knockout plug affects the dishwasher, and we check it.

A modest repair on a newer unit makes sense. Body leaks and burnt motors favor replacement.
