The Two Types of Garbage Disposals

You may not be aware that there are actually two different types of garbage disposals. Our team of experienced appliance repair specialists knows how to repair both types. However, it’s important to know which type you have when it comes time to perform garbage disposal repairs or maintenance. The two types of garbage disposals include:

  • Continuous Feed – Continuous feed garbage disposals are activated by the flip of a switch. These garbage disposals run continuously when turned on and usually keep food inside with a rubber shield.
  • Batch Feed – Batch feed garbage disposals provide a special safety feature that prevents the garbage disposal from running unless a cap or lid is placed over the disposal. This is a good choice if you have little ones around the home.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your garbage disposal. No matter what type of problem arises, our uniformed technicians are prepared to show you the best way to fix it. In some cases, you may not need professional garbage disposal repair services. If you have any doubt, remember that safety should always be your number one priority, and call Mr. Appliance of Lexington KY. Some of the most common garbage disposal issues include:

    • There Is No Power to the Garbage Disposal – First, check your electrical panel to ensure no breakers are tripped. Then, you can try resetting your garbage disposal. When a garbage disposal becomes jammed, it can overheat and turn off. There is usually a red reset button that should restore power. If none of these steps return power to your garbage disposal, the motor likely needs to be replaced.
    • Garbage Disposal Jams – Jams are probably the most common issue with garbage disposals. High-fiber foods tend to clog your disposal. Do not attempt to clear clogs through the top of the garbage disposal. Underneath the motor should be a hole for a socket wrench. If that is rotated, the masher plate within your garbage disposal should clear the jam.
    • Clogged Garbage Disposal Drain – Your garbage disposal can get clogged just like any other drain. However, clearing away these clogs can be tricky. Let Mr. Appliance of Lexington KY help you snake out any clogs in your garbage disposal.
    • Excessive Noise – Excessive noise coming from your garbage disposal is usually due to something stuck inside, like a bone or a screw.
    • Leaking Garbage Disposal – When the seals and gaskets on your garbage disposal wear out, dirty water can begin leaking underneath your sink. We can help you replace your gaskets and completely reseal your garbage disposal.
