On this page, we review some common signs that your garbage disposal requires service or potentially replacement.
-Frequent Resetting. The reset button feature on garbage disposals helps the device recover from large amounts of food waste and clogs. If your garbage disposal is in working condition, though, you should not have to use the reset often. In the event you must reset your disposal often it’s a sign it could be wearing out. Another cause of resets can be loose wires. In that situation, contact Armbrust Plumbing & Heating Solutions for assistance.
-Strange Sounds. Garbage disposals can make a lot of noise when an object accidentally falls into one.
When your disposal makes an unusual noise, use a flashlight to look for an obvious cause like silverware.
If there does not appear to be an object obstructing the blades, the disposal’s components might be misaligned. Usually, a simply adjustment resolves this problem.

In some instances, clogs are a sign that you simply require a model of disposal with a greater capacity. On the other hand, clogs might indicate a malfunction.
-Lack of Power. When a garbage disposal does not switch on or shuts off while running, check for a blown circuit. If your home’s electrical systems appear to be functioning as normal, call Armbrust for a Garbage Disposal Wheaton IL inspection.
