Q: How often do garbage disposals break?

• <div><p>Garbage disposals are durable appliances that usually last at least eight years as long as you clean and maintain them. It&rsquo;s relatively rare for a garbage disposal to break on its own, as most malfunctions happen due to user errors, like overstuffing the grinding compartment or damaging the blades by trying to dispose of metal or bone. Eventually, cracks or leaks could develop in the unit, which requires a full replacement. </p></div>

Q: Can I DIY garbage disposal installation?

• <div><p>You may be able to install a garbage disposal on your own, especially if you're handy or have some experience with plumbing. However, if you have any concerns or want to make absolutely sure that the connections are installed correctly, you may be better off hiring a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-garbage-disposal/">local garbage disposal installer</a> to do the job. </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>

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 should not be put in a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>These appliances certainly increase the number of things allowed down the drain, but they&rsquo;re not foolproof. There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-not-put-down-garbage-disposal.htm">items you shouldn&rsquo;t put in your garbage disposal</a>, according to manufacturers and technicians. Don&rsquo;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>
