Garbage Disposal Problems We Fix in Stoughton

Disposal won't start — completely dead: Check the reset button on the disposal body (the small red or black button on the bottom), then check the circuit breaker. If both are fine, the problem is in the switch, wiring, or motor — call us for diagnosis and repair or replacement.

Humming without grinding: A jammed grinding plate creates the hum-without-grinding symptom. Do not continue pressing the wall switch — motor burnout results. We safely unjam disposals and clear the grinding chamber of whatever caused the jam. Hard objects (cherry pits, bones, small utensils) are the most common culprits in Stoughton kitchen disposals.

Leaking from the bottom: Internal seal failure — the internal water seal that separates the motor from the grinding chamber has worn through. This leak type typically means replacement is more economical than repair, particularly in units more than 8-10 years old.

Leaking at the sink flange: The rubber seal between the disposal's sink flange and the sink basin has failed. We can often repair this by remounting the flange with fresh plumber's putty without replacing the entire unit.

Grinding poorly or making loud grinding sounds: Worn grinding components in older units. A new disposal grinds with noticeably more effectiveness and quieter operation.
