Is fixing a leaking garbage disposal worth it?

• <div><p>If the cost of repairing a leaking garbage disposal is close to the cost of replacing the disposal, then fixing the unit might not make sense. When deciding if you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">repair or replace your garbage disposal</a>, consider the age of your garbage disposal, the cost of the repair, and whether your garbage disposal has had other problems recently to help you decide if the cost of repairing the leak is better than the cost of replacing the disposal.</p></div>

What should not be put in a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they’re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn’t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don’t put coffee grounds down the drain. The same goes for eggshells, potato peels, hard foods, onion skins, and any dry, expandable food. Most importantly, never put grease or oils down the drain.</p></div>

Is it worth it to fix a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, it’s absolutely worth it to repair a garbage disposal, so long as it’s eight years old or younger. Once you pass that eight-year threshold, it depends on the issue. If it’s a simple jam and the core components remain unaffected, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbers/">local plumber</a> for a quick repair. If it seems like the motor is wearing down, spring for a replacement unit. </p></div>

I was very pleased with the project,, he gave me several options, to repair or replace my unit. I choose to repair but will call Steven again when Iâ m ready to replace my older unit. He was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.

Tech arrrived on time. After determining the problem, the technician said he did not have the right repalcement part with him (capacitor). He had to drive back to ABQ to get the part. Came back about two hours later (this is all in late afternoon) and made repairs. Everything working fine now.
