Garbage Disposal Repair FAQs
Since 1996, Tolo Appliance LLC has resolved a wide range of garbage disposal problems. Our team are experts in diagnosing, repairing, and replacing all types of appliances efficiently and reliably.
Can garbage disposals be repaired?
Yes, in many cases, a garbage disposal can be repaired. Common fixes include clearing jams or tightening loose parts. If your disposal is experiencing electrical issues or a motor failure, a service professional can diagnose the problem and advise you on repairs or replacement.
How do I fix my garbage disposal myself?
While it may be tempting to fix a garbage disposal yourself, doing so can be risky. Incorrect repairs can make the problem worse or create electrical and safety hazards. For a safe and effective solution, contact Tolo Appliance LLC.
How can I fix a garbage disposal that just hums?
A humming disposal likely has jammed blades. Turn off the power and unplug it for safety. Try using an Allen wrench to rotate the blades at the bottom of the unit. If that doesn’t work, it’s best to call a professional to avoid further complications.
How do you fix a garbage disposal that won’t come on?
If your garbage disposal won’t turn on even though it’s plugged in, the reset button may have tripped. When this happens, the button typically pops out about a quarter of an inch. Press it back in to reset the unit, then try turning on the disposal again.
If it still doesn’t power on, check your dedicated circuit breaker to see if it has been tripped. If that’s not the cause, there may be underlying electrical issues that a professional from Tolo Appliance LLC can diagnose and repair safely.
What can I put in a garbage disposal?
Most soft foods, small citrus peels, ice cubes, and dish soap are generally safe to use in your garbage disposal.
However, avoid putting the following items down the drain, as they can cause clogs or damage:
Fibrous foods: banana peels, celery, artichokes
Starchy foods: potato peels, pasta
Coffee grounds, bones, fruit pits, eggshells
Oil, grease, and fats
Household trash: paper towels, napkins
Chemical cleaners or harsh solvents
Following these guidelines helps keep your garbage disposal running smoothly and prevents costly repairs by Tolo Appliance LLC.
