There are few things in your kitchen that you
have the ability to count on as much as the
garbage disposal. It is the one machine you will
be able to purchase just a few dollars but on the
other hand, it is also one of the few machines
which will actually last for 25 years when
properly cared for. This does not mean it is free
from having problems. This is the main reason why
it is a good idea to have a general understanding
of garbage disposal repair and adhere to it.

In comparison to the rest of the appliances in
your kitchen, garbage disposal repair cannot be
compared to rocket science. You will likely only
need to unclog the drain and most cases you will
need to simply reset the unit. Only in very rare
cases will you ever need to call out a
residential plumber in Murfreesboro, TN to help
you with the garbage disposal repair. In most
cases the repair will be cheap if not entirely
free you want to remember that the next time
your freezer stops working.

Unclog the drain Before you decide it is time to
get into some serious garbage disposal repair,
you want to make sure that the power is turned
off. You may even want to unplug or turn off the
breaker. Use a flashlight to look in the drain
and if you see a spoon or other kinds of material
which does not belong, this could be what is
causing the clog. If not, the appliance actually
comes with a key to unclog it. Turn the key in
both directions to try and dislodge anything
causing the problem. Only in rare cases will you
face garbage disposal replacement to fix the
problem.

Reset the unit If unclogging the unit does not
work, look for the red reset button. If this is
sticking out, simply press it back in. Unlike
your dishwasher or some other appliance, the unit
will shut off if it encounters a problem. You may
also want to check the plug to see if it is
securely plugged in as well as the breaker to see
if it is set.

Call a plumber The last resort you can use for
garbage disposal repair is to call a residential
plumber. Before you do this, consider how much it
will cost and whether you would rather just buy a
new unit. Unlike an oven, you are only talking
about a few hundred dollars at the maximum.
Installing it is an easier task since you will
not need to deal with gas lines or anything else.
Simple hook ups like the one to your dishwasher
is all you will have to worry about.
