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>

Is a garbage disposal worth it?

• <div><p>If you cook a lot or have a larger household, a garbage disposal can be worth it, since it streamlines your kitchen duties and helps to keep food waste out of landfills.

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 tool is used to reset a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Most garbage disposals have a reset button that can be triggered with a tool as simple and accessible as your index finger. That said, if you need to perform a more in-depth troubleshooting step, like manually moving the arms inside the unit or rotating the impeller plate, a hex wrench is the most common tool you&rsquo;ll need. Most garbage disposals come with a hex wrench.</p></div>

Q: Can glass go in the garbage disposal?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t access the disposal safely, call a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garbage-disposal-repair/">garbage disposal repair pro</a>.</p></div>
