Common Reasons Your Garbage Disposal Isn't Working
Finding out the root cause of your garbage disposal problems is the key to an effective repair.
There are several reasons why a garbage disposal may stop working. Here are some common causes:
- Electrical problems: Issues with the electrical supply – such as a tripped circuit breaker or a faulty wiring connection – can prevent the garbage disposal from functioning properly.
- Jammed flywheel: If anything gets caught in the flywheel – such as food particles or foreign objects – this can cause the disposal to jam and stop working.
- Overheating: Continuous use of the garbage disposal without allowing it to cool down can lead to overheating and trigger a safety mechanism that shuts the unit off.
- Clogs: Accumulation of food waste, grease, or other debris can cause clogs in the disposal pipes, preventing the unit from operating correctly.
- Faulty motor: A malfunctioning motor can lead to the garbage disposal not working as it should.
No matter the cause of your garbage disposal problem, Castlewood Plumbing has a solution. Our plumbing service experts are equipped with the tools and expertise necessary to get your system back up and running as soon as possible.

Preventing Garbage Disposal Issues
Dos for Garbage Disposal Maintenance:
- Run cold water while using the disposal – Helps solidify grease and flush waste efficiently.
- Cut large food scraps into smaller pieces – Reduces strain on the blades and motor.
- Clean the disposal regularly – Use a mix of ice cubes and rock salt or baking soda and vinegar to remove buildup and odors.
- Grind citrus peels occasionally – Helps freshen up the unit and eliminate odors.
Don’ts: Avoid These Common Mistakes
- Don’t pour grease or oil – They solidify and cause clogs over time.
- Don’t dispose of fibrous foods – Items like celery, potato peels, and corn husks can wrap around the blades and cause jams.
- Don’t put non-food items – Plastic, glass, and metal objects can damage the disposal and pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do Garbage Disposals Typically Last?
Most garbage disposals last between 8 to 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. Regular cleaning, avoiding hard or fibrous food waste, and addressing minor issues promptly can extend the lifespan of your unit. If you frequently experience jams or need constant repairs, it may be time for a replacement.
Can I Install a Garbage Disposal in Any Sink?
Most standard kitchen sinks can accommodate a garbage disposal, but you may need modifications if you have a farmhouse sink, a deep basin, or older plumbing. Our experts at Castlewood Plumbing can assess your setup and install a compatible disposal unit for seamless operation.
How long does a typical garbage disposal installation take?
A typical garbage disposal installation is a relatively quick process when handled by a professional. A standard replacement of an existing unit can often be completed in as little as one to two hours. If the installation requires new plumbing or electrical work, the process may take slightly longer. Our plumbers work efficiently to get your new disposal up and running with minimal disruption to your kitchen. We will provide you with a clear timeline before beginning any work.

Is it better to repair or replace my garbage disposal?
The decision to repair or replace a garbage disposal depends on its age and the nature of the problem. If your unit is less than 10 years old and has a minor issue, such as a simple clog or a loose component, a repair is likely the most cost-effective solution. However, if the motor has burned out, the blades are dull, or the unit is frequently breaking down, a replacement is the better choice. A new, more powerful model will be more efficient and reliable in the long run. A professional plumber can help you weigh these factors to make the best decision.
Can I install my garbage disposal myself?
While it might seem like a simple task, installing a garbage disposal on your own is not recommended. The installation involves connecting the unit to both the plumbing and electrical systems under your sink, which can be dangerous if not done correctly. An improper installation can lead to leaks, electrical hazards, or even damage to your plumbing. For your safety and to ensure the unit is installed correctly and efficiently, it is always best to hire a licensed professional. This will also protect your warranty on the new unit.
How can I prevent my garbage disposal from clogging?
The best way to prevent your garbage disposal from clogging is to be mindful of what you put into it. Avoid placing hard, fibrous, or starchy foods like bones, fruit pits, corn husks, or potato peels down the drain. You should also never put grease, oil, or fat in the disposal, as it will solidify and create a tough clog over time. Run a strong stream of cold water while using the disposal to help flush food particles away. Lastly, a handful of ice cubes can help sharpen the blades and remove minor buildup.
