GARBAGE DISPOSAL NOT WORKING?! Try These Easy Fixes! (3 Sink Disposal Repairs...More Tips + Tricks!)

Typically, garbage and sink disposals stop working because some foreign object—like a spoon, or piece of glass or ceramic—has fallen into them and jammed them up.

Disposals aren’t meant to grind anything this large or dense! They mostly meant to grind up, or “macerate,” small, wet bits of food.

To fix your disposal, you’ll have to remove any foreign objects. But first, be sure to TURN OFF THE UNIT AND LEAVE IT OFF until the repair is complete. (You may want to flip the appropriate circuit breaker as well.)

Sometimes, objects can be fished out from above with tongs. If not, you may have to remove the unit and overturn it. (See video for how to dismount garbage disposal.)

Once foreign objects are removed, the sink disposal can often be “Reset” by pushing a small button on the underside of the canister. This button acts like a small circuit breaker. Once reset, the disposal will often be able to work again!

Also, you can sometimes free the grind plate in the unit by using an allen key to rotate the grinder from below.

It’s good to clean your garbage disposal frequently by grinding ice with dish soap and water. This will clear gunky matter in the grind chamber.

But remember, don’t put anything larger than a dime in the disposal. And don’t use clog-clearing chemicals—they can damage your disposal, and harm your plumber!
