A garbage disposal unit is a device, usually electrically powered, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap. The device shreds food waste into pieces small enough, generally less than 2 mm in diameter, to pass through plumbing without the need to make radical changes to internal pipework.

The first step is to check the drain pipe for any blockages. Over time, food particles and other debris can build up and cause clogs that prevent water from draining properly. To clear out the drain pipe, use an old toothbrush or bottle brush to scrub away any buildup inside of it. You may also need to use a plunger or chemical cleaner if the clog is particularly stubborn.
Another common issue with waste disposal units is a motor failure. If your unit isn’t turning on at all, then it’s likely that either the motor has burned out or something else has gone wrong with its wiring system. Replacing the motor yourself can be tricky so it’s best left to professionals who have experience dealing with this type of repair job. However, if you’re feeling confident in your skills as a handyman then go ahead and give it a shot. Just make sure you turn off the power supply before attempting anything more than basic maintenance work on your appliance.
In these cases, it is wise to call in an expert since they will know exactly what needs replacing and how best to do so without causing further damage down the line or worse yet, voiding any existing warranties.
When it comes to fixing a malfunctioning waste disposal unit, there are certain times when it is best to call in a professional plumber. If the problem involves any kind of electrical issue, then this should be left to an expert. This could include problems with wiring or power supply, as well as any issues related to the motor or control panel.
Another time when you may need help from a professional is if your waste disposal unit needs replacing entirely. Replacing a broken down unit can be tricky and requires knowledge of plumbing systems and how they work together. It’s important that all connections are secure and that no leaks occur during installation – something which only an experienced plumber will know how to do properly.
If you’re having trouble getting your waste disposal unit working again after trying some basic troubleshooting tips yourself, then it might be worth calling in an expert for advice on what else you can try before replacing the whole thing altogether. A qualified plumber will also be able to identify whether the problem lies within the appliance itself or somewhere else in your plumbing system – such as blocked pipes further down the line – so they can advise accordingly on how best to proceed with repairs or replacements where necessary.
Finally, if you’ve tried everything possible but still cannot get your waste disposal unit functioning correctly again then it’s probably time for a new one. An experienced plumber will have access to quality products at competitive prices so they’ll likely save you money compared with buying directly from retailers who may not offer such good deals on their own stock items. They’ll also make sure that everything is installed safely and securely so there won’t be any nasty surprises further down the line.
