Q: What would cause a garbage disposal to stop working?

• <div><p>There are many maintenance and repair issues that lead to a malfunctioning garbage disposal. Regular clogs place wear and tear on the motors, leading to an eventual shutdown. Electrical issues at the breaker, wall outlet, or disposal itself can fry the unit. The most common cause is simply a worn-down motor. These motors can only handle so much use before powering down for good. </p></div>

Q: Are garbage disposals bad for the environment?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals can be considered bad for the environment due to their electricity usage, but good for the environment because they reduce the food waste sent to landfills. If everyone used a garbage disposal, it would tax the wastewater treatment facilities in that region, but if we had to choose one of the options, we&rsquo;d say they are a net positive on the environment when used correctly. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to have a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-necessary-dishwasher.htm">need a garbage disposal for a dishwasher</a>. A dishwasher will work without a garbage disposal. However, the two appliances pair well and are often installed together. It is rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn&rsquo;t have a garbage disposal, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean it's not possible. Each appliance serves its own purpose. </p></div>

Q: Why does my garbage disposal have power but won’t spin?

• <div><p>If your garbage disposal powers up and you can hear it hum, but the arms inside aren&rsquo;t moving, the problem might be a stubborn clog, a build-up of grease, or a jam of the impeller plate. To troubleshoot these, ensure your unit is off and disconnected from its power source before checking inside the drain or attempting to manually rotate the impeller arms or plate from the underside of the unit. A hex wrench can help.</p></div>

Q: How often should you replace a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals can last between 10 and 12 years, so if your unit is pushing its lifespan, it may be a good idea to replace it. If your unit isn&rsquo;t approaching the 10-year mark, try investigating other parts of the disposal to see if there's an affordable repair on the horizon. For example, rubber has a shorter lifespan than 10 years, connections and hoses loosen over time, and sink flanges can cause leaks that have nothing to do with disposals.</p></div>
