Troubleshooting a Garbage Disposal
* If your Disposal makes a loud whirring noise or stops, it has
jammed. Turn it off and wait 5 minutes, then firmly press the reset
button on the bottom of the motor housing. (Machines without buttons
reset automatically).
* If the Disposal still doesn't work, see if it's designed to be
unjammed from below. It may have a small crank or a socket for an Allen
wrench to turn the flywheel. Or it may have a reversing switch
* To cure a clog, disassemble the trap and use a snake.
Water dripping from the Disposal usually indicates one or more
seals are worn and need to be replaced.
* Helpful Hint When professional help is required, take the Disposal
to the repair service to avoid paying for a service call. To remove it,
separate it from the drain elbow and loosen the mounting screws to
release it from the support flange.
* For best service from your Disposal, run cold water during
disposal and for a minute after.
* Never put glass, metal or rubber in the Disposal.
* Disposals vary, so consult your owner's manual or call a professional!
