Garbage Disposals

Garbage disposals are common kitchen appliances that can develop issues over time. If your garbage disposal is not working correctly, here are the steps to address potential repairs:

1. Safety Precautions:

  • Always turn off the power to the garbage disposal before attempting any repairs. This typically involves unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker that controls it. For added safety, you can tape the switch in the "off" position or lock the breaker box.

2. Diagnose the Problem:

  • Identify the specific issue with your garbage disposal. Common problems include a jammed disposal, strange noises, a leaking disposal, or a disposal that won't turn on.
