"Jay & son were excellent, courteous, friendly technicians. Was frustrated from a previous company recommended by Warranty company who was closer. That company came in diagnosed work did not pull out any appliance just looked at it & said it couldn't be fixed.. Was upset, called back &: requested Jay although he was further away & he had come before. They came in went right to work; within a few moments had service. I would highly recommend L& K for all my appliance needs. They had excellent Customer Service. My husband &:I can't say enough about how they take pride in satisfaction from the Customer."

"Steady drip from shower. They tried to make the existing valve work but had to replace it. Turned water on and verified no leakage from new valve or shower head. Noticed my shower mat was folded so they would step on the back of it to access the shower. Little thoughtfulness like that goes a long way with me. Highly recommend."

Garbage Disposal Repair questions, answered by experts

Many homeowners wonder if a garbage disposal is necessary with a dishwasher. After all, many dishwashers are powerful enough to handle bits of food with no issues.  

Still, your dishwasher should not act as a replacement for a disposal. Subjecting your dishwasher to continuous leftovers could lead to major clogs. If you don’t want a garbage disposal in your kitchen, simply scrape away any extra food into your trash can or compost pile.

As with many appliances, proper maintenance is key to maximizing your garbage disposal’s life span. If everyone in your household is on board with proper care and maintenance, like running water while operating the disposal, you should get plenty of years out of your unit. Avoid putting the wrong food items down the disposal, including pasta, rice, bread, and more.

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. 

The most common garbage disposal size in the U.S. is 1/2 horsepower. This size is ideal for households with three or fewer people or those that don't produce much food waste. Although 1/2 horsepower can't handle the typical food waste load for a household of four (which is about 250 pounds of food waste annually) as effectively as 3/4 horsepower, it remains the most common size of garbage disposal on the market.

Never put glass in the garbage disposal. It can damage your disposal or eject shards of glass out of the disposal and cause injury. If you get broken glass in your garbage disposal, turn it off and cut the power from the breaker, use a tool like pliers or tongs to remove the glass, and use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining glass pieces. If you can’t access the disposal safely, call a garbage disposal repair pro.
