Q: How long do garbage disposals last and when should they be replaced?

• <div><p>On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.</p></div>

Q: Why does my dishwasher water come up into the sink?

• <div><p>When a dishwasher discharges its wastewater, it uses a pump to quickly move a lot of water. If anything in the drain line or the garbage disposal impedes the high volume of water, it will back up into the sink through the drain or the garbage disposal. Following regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-avoid-dishwasher-repair.htm">dishwasher maintenance tips</a> like clearing clogs, keeping them cleared, and occasionally running the disposal will eliminate the problem.</p></div>

Q: What is the main problem that happens to garbage disposals?

• <div><p>The main issue with garbage disposals is clogging. This can mean a clogging of the pipes that expel the food along with water, or a clogging of the mechanical parts themselves. The problem lies in the solution because you can&rsquo;t easily see clogs if they&rsquo;re inside the system, and reaching in to dislodge stuck items is a risky proposal. Call a pro and ask what they would do, but if you can&rsquo;t see the clog easily, and running the unit won&rsquo;t free it, you need to let a professional handle the fix. </p></div>

Q: Will unplugging my garbage disposal reset it?

• <div><p>While unplugging your garbage disposal and plugging it back in may help, most units have an actual reset button, a bright red switch found on the underside of your unit. If your garbage disposal needs resetting, you may notice this button sticking out about a quarter of an inch from the surface of the unit, with which it&rsquo;s usually flush. Simply depress this reset button to reset the unit, and then test to ensure it&rsquo;s working about 10 minutes later.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common size garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

They handled it of total care and stored it in our garage with all the very long trim pieces for installation next day. Kind of an unusual item to deliver so was concerned about the glass, scratching, damage. Again, 5-star handling and very pleased!!"
