Signs of a Broken Garbage Disposal

1. It won't turn on. If your disposal doesn't turn on, it could be a sign of an electrical issue. Or, if you're lucky, it could just need to be reset via the reset button (typically located below the sink).
   
2. It makes a nasty noise. If your disposal sounds like it's trying to grind up a piece of metal, then it probably is. Shut off the unit immediately and call a professional – sticking your hand into a garbage disposal is very dangerous. You could simply have a utensil stuck in the unit, or else there is a loose part rattling around.
   
3. You smell burning. Again, shut the unit off immediately. A burning smell is a sign of faulty electrical and should be dealt with immediately.
   
4. You smell rotten foodstuffs. Bad odors coming from your disposal means that you should be practicing proper cleaning procedures, because you likely have a clogged disposal. Starchy foods (corn husks, potato peels, etc.) and coffee grounds should never be flushed down the sink because they have a tendency to gunk up your garbage disposal.

If you notice any of the above signs, call a professional immediately. Our plumbers in Ellicott City offer garbage disposal repair and installation at a great price!
