A jammed or leaking garbage disposal under the sink is one of the most common calls we get from Lowell, MA kitchens. Most disposal problems are mechanical, not electrical, and can be fixed without a full replacement.
Our technicians check the flywheel, splash guard, and motor before recommending a new unit, so you're only paying for a replacement when a repair truly won't hold.
Almost always a jam. We manually free the flywheel using the reset wrench, which resolves most calls in minutes.
Usually a worn seal between the disposal and the sink flange, or a cracked housing that needs replacement.
Points to a stuck flywheel drawing too much current, or a failing motor. We test both.
Often a foreign object like glass or a bone fragment stuck in the chamber. We remove it safely.
Every garbage disposal repair visit starts with a safety shutoff at the breaker, then a hands-on check of the flywheel, motor, and seals. If the unit is beyond repair, we can recommend and install a comparable replacement.
This means the motor has power but the flywheel is jammed. It's usually fixed in minutes with the correct reset tool.
If the leak is from a seal, yes. If the housing itself is cracked, replacement is usually the better long-term option.
Bones, fibrous vegetables like celery, grease, and coffee grounds are the most common causes of jams and clogs.
