Common Causes and Simple Fixes for Garbage Disposals

Despite meticulous maintenance, your garbage disposal might still experience blockages. Frequent culprits include an accumulation of grease, fat, and fibrous residue from vegetable skins. Certain hard food items can also exert an undue load on the motor and cause it to jam. An insufficient water flow can also contribute to clogs, so always run the tap while the unit is in operation to prevent waste buildup.

If your garbage disposal is obstructed, the issue might extend to the drain line or drain trap assembly below, resulting in water backflow into the sink. Sometimes, ground up waste can stick to the impeller blades within the unit. In such situations, it is safest to enlist the help of a professional plumber to address the issue without causing further damage.


For minor issues, a simple solution might be within reach. First, disconnect the power. Then, carefully check the drain for any lodged food debris or foreign objects. After clearing any obstructions, reconnect the power. If it still doesn't work, you can try resetting the system. Locate the reset button on the unit under your sink, press it for a few seconds, and then release it. If the problem persists, it is time to contact us at Copperfield Plumbing Services to investigate further.
