Is It Time to Dispose of Your Disposal?
A well-functioning garbage disposal is essential for a smooth and efficient kitchen experience. However, like any appliance, garbage disposals can experience issues over time, leaving homeowners wondering whether to repair or replace them.
Not every issue with your garbage disposal means it needs to be replaced. But given the low cost of new units, replacement should be considered when an older garbage disposal hits the skids. Newer models are often more energy-efficient and robust, providing better service and potentially lowering your utility bills.
If your garbage disposal does not turn on, it’s a clear sign that repair or replacement is needed because its electrical or motor has failed. Other replacement indicators may not be as obvious. Here’s when replacement might be the more cost-effective solution in the long run:
- Noisy operation: While garbage disposals are not silent machines, unusual sounds like metal grinding on metal or loud rattling noises could be due to a foreign object lodged in the disposal or a failing motor.
- Persistent odors: Garbage disposals can naturally acquire smells from food, but these should disappear with routing cleaning.
- Frequent resets: If you suddenly have to press the reset button on your garbage disposal more often than in the past, the unit is working too hard or overheating.
- Weak performance: A disposal that takes longer than usual to grind food or seems to struggle with processing waste, the blades might be worn, or the motor could be weakening.
- Persistent clogs: Frequent clogs or jams indicate a dulling of the disposal’s blades to the point that its grinding is no longer sufficient.
- Water leaks: Water pooling under your sink or around the garbage disposal unit can be caused by loose connections, worn-out seals, or cracks in the unit.
