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>

Do garbage disposals unscrew?

• <div><p>These appliances do unscrew, but you need to disconnect everything properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-repair-and-replacement.htm">when you replace your garbage disposal</a>. Make sure you shut the power off to the area first and check that it’s off with a voltage detector. Disconnect the main drain line and P-trap, and then disconnect the dishwasher drain line if you have one connected. You can then unscrew your garbage disposal using a disposal wrench. Just make sure you disconnect the electrical lines before removing your appliance.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove a garbage disposal mounting bracket?

• <div><p>Once you have your garbage disposal disconnected, you can remove the mounting bracket by unscrewing the bolts that are holding the bracket. You can back them out just enough to pop off the snap ring, which prevents the bottom portion of the bracket from disconnecting from the top when you unscrew the bolts. Use a regular screwdriver to pop off the snap ring, and the rest of the components should fall off by themselves.</p></div>

Q: Will any size garbage disposal fit my sink?

• <div><p>While the part of the garbage disposal that attaches to the sink is universal, not every single disposal will work in every sink cabinet. A larger disposal may be too big to fit in a compact space, for example. If the pipes under your sink are arranged in an unusual way, it may be difficult to put in a bigger disposal, even if there technically is enough space.</p></div>

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>
