Always run plenty of water while the disposer is running until you no longer hear it grinding. Then turn it off and run the water for a few seconds after to clean the disposer grind chamber to prevent any bad smells from forming. Best wishes and Happy Disposing!
WHEN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL DOES NOT WORK
If your garbage disposal isn’t turning on or running properly, you may need to reset it by pressing the red overload protection button on the disposal’s bottom. Turn off the garbage disposal before pressing the reset button. If the reset button does not remain pushed in, your disposal may have overheated or still be too hot. Wait 10 minutes before attempting to push it in again. If the button stays pushed in, turn on the cold water and disposal. The garbage disposal system should be working once again.
Tips for Unclogging a Clogged Garbage Disposal
Food and other foreign things can clog or block a garbage disposal at any time. Some common items can be bones, glass, fish tank pebbles, plastic dinnerware, bread expiration tags, milk jug caps and much more. If your trash disposal is jammed, you might attempt the following methods yourself before hiring a plumber.
use an unJAM tool
Almost all disposals come with an unjam tool. It’s an allen hex key that fits into the bottom of most garbage disposals. After making sure there is no electricity running to your garbage disposal, insert the key into the slot into the bottom of the disposal, and rotate it from side to side. This movement wiggles the disposal’s rotating plate and blades, which may release the blockage.
If you can’t find your disposals unjam tool, do a double check to see if your garbage disposal has an unjam slot underneath. If it does, you can always purchase a new one at your local hardware store or online. All unjam tools are the same size.
Remove The Jam From The Top
You can use a long handle, such as a broom if your garbage disposal doesn’t have a key or slot on the bottom to allow you to turn the plate. To clear the jam, insert the handle into the garbage disposal and turn the impellers counterclockwise.
Use a flashlight and look for foreign objects that shouldn’t be in the garbage disposal. Use a pair of long needle nose pliers to carefully remove obstructions from your disposal. If your garbage disposal is still not operating properly, call a professional plumber in your area.
