How Do Garbage Disposals Work? What Are Some Common Disposal Problems?
Garbage disposals are built to break down crumbs and similar leftovers before they can affect your plumbing system. Compact blades encased within the disposal slice up debris into more manageable pieces, making it easier for the drains and piping system to handle. Your average disposal is an energy-efficient fixture, requiring minimal water and electricity to function.
In the event it stops working right, it’s frequently traced back to an electrical issue or improper use. The most important thing to know about your garbage disposal is to learn what can and can’t go into it. South Jersey Energy Services Plus technicians won’t rest until they fully understand the problem to ensure a long-term solution.
1. Your Garbage Disposal Isn’t Turning On
To see if your disposal is unable to start, try hitting the reset button located on the unit. If nothing happens, it’s often because there’s electrical problem or because the blades have gotten lodged against something. Electrical damage like this may be dangerous to inspect and repair, so it’s best to leave garbage disposal repair to professional technicians.
2. The Motor Is Running, But the Blades Aren’t
When the disposal turns on but the blades aren’t actually spinning, it can be the consequence of an electrical error, a problem with the motor, or another malfunction affecting the blades. Our repair technicians will make sure the disposal is off before determining why the blades aren’t working.
Sometimes, something like old food gets stuck inside the disposal, catching the blades and preventing them from moving. A disposal’s motor can spin the blades at speeds capable of injury, so keep hands and tools out of the disposal if you aren’t certain it’s turned off and unplugged.
3. Leaks
A consistent leak can be a telltale sign there’s a problem with the disposal. When foreign objects are hard enough, it can crack or otherwise damage internal components and potentially spring a leak. Nearby water damage is another way you might realize there’s something wrong with the disposal. If you find mold or mildew close to drain, the garbage disposal may be to blame.

The Do's and Don'ts of What Goes in Your Garbage Disposal
Keeping track of what’s appropriate to put in your garbage disposal can be frustrating. Here are general guidelines:
1
Start with food pieces as small as possible to make them easier to grind up.
Stay away from fibrous items like vegetable skins, which can clog up your garbage disposal.

The majority of liquids are okay, but garbage disposals can’t handle cooking oil and grease, which can solidify and gum up internal components.
Coffee grounds and eggshells can form severe clogs, so avoid putting them into your garbage disposal.
