Garbage Disposal Repairs in New Port Richey, FL

When your garbage disposal is not working, you want to know what is wrong. It can be tough to figure out exactly why your garbage disposal isn’t working. When you work with Mr. Appliance of Pasco County, we’ll help you diagnose the problem with your garbage disposal and offer you reasonably priced solutions for repairs. Some of the most common problems with garbage disposals include the following:

• Garbage Disposal Won’t Power On – Sometimes, a tripped breaker in your electrical panel can stop your garbage disposal from turning on. Other times, your garbage disposal may have cut power to prevent overheating during a jam. In that case, you may just need to press the red reset button on your unit. If neither of these solves the problem, you might need to replace the motor.
• Garbage Disposal Is Jammed – Garbage disposals frequently become jammed by high-fiber foods, such as meat or bones. Never try to clear a jam by putting your hand down the drain. Instead, rotate the masher plate by inserting a socket wrench in the hole underneath the motor. This will often clear minor jams.
• Clogged Garbage Disposal Drain – Just like any other drain in your home, your garbage disposal can become clogged. To clear clogs in your garbage disposal drain, you should call a professional at Mr. Appliance of Pasco County to help.
• Excessive Noise – Strange noises coming from your garbage disposal can usually be traced to foreign objects inside the unit, like bones or screws. A grinding noise could indicate a problem with the motor, though.
• Leaking Garbage Disposal – If you notice a puddle of water under your counter, your garbage disposal may be leaking. We can help you replace seals and gaskets that have worn out.
