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>

How long do garbage disposals last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garbage-disposal-last.htm">Garbage disposals last</a> an average of about 10 years, so it may be time for a new model if it's getting up there in age. Other signs that it's time to bring in a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-garbage-disposal/">local garbage disposal pro</a> include:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks under your disposal</p></li><li><p>Persistent clogs</p></li><li><p>Lingering odors</p></li><li><p>Lack of power</p></li><li><p>Unexplained noises</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why should I pick a continuous-feed garbage disposal?

• <div><p>Continuous feed garbage disposals are the favorite model for many homeowners for a reason. As opposed to batch feed models, add food scraps to the drain whenever the disposal is running. This variety is also typically less expensive, more convenient, and easier to clean.</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: 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>
