Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Repairs

While a full appliance breakdown is virtually impossible to miss, your garbage disposal will typically show signs that it needs to be repaired long before then. Keep a lookout for these symptoms of a problem with your garbage disposal:

  • Leaking
  • Only humming when on
  • Foul smells
  • Water backing up
  • Water wonโ€™t drain even after it runs
  • Smoking

Because you use your garbage disposal on a daily basis, youโ€™re attuned to its normal functions. Youโ€™ll notice when something is off whether the garbage disposal is clogged or just isnโ€™t running like itโ€™s supposed to. Call the team at Blanco AC if you suspect a problem with your disposal system.

What Can You Put Down a Garbage Disposal?

Although garbage disposals are a convenient way to get rid of food scraps quickly, they arenโ€™t a catchall for all of the waste in your kitchen. Inadvertently sending things that shouldnโ€™t go down the garbage disposal down the drain is one of the leading causes of a garbage disposal not working properly. So what can go down a garbage disposal?

You should only put food waste down your disposal, but there are certain things you should never put down your garbage disposal, including:

  • Coffee grounds
  • Pasta, rice and bread
  • Egg and shellfish shells
  • Animal bones
  • Nuts, pits and seeds
  • Onion layers (not diced onions)
  • Stringy, fibrous fruits and vegetables (celery, corn husks, banana peels, etc.)
  • Potato peels
  • Grease, oil and fat
  • Non-food items

If youโ€™re not sure whether an item can go down the disposal, itโ€™s just as easy to err on the side of caution and throw it away. You can also refer to the list above to remind yourself whatโ€™s safe and whatโ€™s not. Simply understanding what can and canโ€™t go down to your disposal can save you the hassle and expense of repairs in the future.
