Garbage disposals are an essential addition to any kitchen. They eliminate the need for manual waste disposal, make kitchen cleanup more efficient, and help maintain a hygienic environment.

How Does a Garbage Disposal Work?
A garbage disposal uses a rotating impeller to grind food scraps into tiny pieces. These pieces are then flushed down the drain, allowing the waste to flow smoothly through the pipes. The impeller is powered by a motor that rotates at high-speeds, effectively breaking down even the toughest food waste.
Common Issues with Garbage Disposals
While garbage disposals are durable appliances, they are not immune to issues. Here are some common problems that can occur:
Jamming
Food debris can sometimes become lodged in the impeller or drains, causing the disposal to jam. This issue can be resolved by running the garbage disposal with a mixture of ice cubes and vinegar.
Unpleasant Odors
Food particles stuck in the disposal can attract bacteria, leading to unpleasant odors. Regularly flushing the disposal with hot water and avoiding putting fibrous or starchy foods in it can help eliminate these smells.
Leaking
Over time, gaskets or seals around the disposal may become worn or damaged, leading to leaks. Repairing or replacing the damaged components may be necessary.
Noise
Noise is a common complaint with garbage disposals. This can be due to worn-out components or foreign objects stuck in the disposal. Lubricating the blades or removing stuck objects can help alleviate this issue.
