How Can I Prevent My Garbage Disposal from Breaking?

We hear this question from Whittier, CA, residents every day. The answer is not as simple as you may think. While there are plenty of ways to avoid catastrophic failure, sometimes the reason for the breakdown has nothing to do with your manner of usage. In these cases, the cause of the malfunction is usually related to something electrical or the appliance is old and has reached the end of its lifespan.

If you want to avoid major repairs over the course of owning your disposal, there are certain measures you can take to keep this kitchen appliance running without problems. Consider the following:

• Limit the amount of food waste you put in the disposal.
• Use it every day, but make sure you run cold water through the disposal for at least 10 – 15 seconds after each use to make sure there are no food particles present that could clog the disposal.
• Avoid grinding up foods like potato skins, pasta, rice, grease, oil, onion peels, etc. These food materials can be hard for the disposal to “digest,” resulting in stoppages.

Is Professional Garbage Disposal Installation Really Necessary?

It is convenient to walk into the nearest Lowes, Home Depot, or other neighborhood, home improvement store and pick out a new garbage disposal.
