FAQs About Garbage Disposal Replacement

When should I replace my garbage disposal?

A garbage disposal typically lasts about 8-15 years. If it’s frequently jamming, leaking, making unusual noises, or not turning on, it might be time to consider a replacement.

Persistent leaks, frequent clogs, reduced grinding efficiency, and motor failures are signs that it’s more cost-effective to replace the unit rather than repair it.

While handy homeowners can install a garbage disposal themselves, hiring a professional ensures the installation is done correctly, reducing the risk of leaks or electrical issues.

A humming noise often indicates that the disposal’s motor is stuck or jammed, which can occur if something is lodged in the grinding chamber. This can sometimes be fixed by manually turning the blades with an Allen wrench.

Leaks can occur from several places: the sink flange, dishwasher connection, or the discharge drainpipe. Identifying the source of the leak is crucial for repair or replacement.

Frequent clogs can be caused by improper use, such as overloading the disposal, using it to grind fibrous materials like celery or potato peels, or not using enough water during operation.

Most sinks are compatible with garbage disposals, but the sink’s material and size should be considered. Stainless steel and composite granite sinks are popular choices because they are durable and can withstand the vibrations from a disposal.
