About the service

A garbage disposal device is a piece of equipment positioned under a sink between the trap and the drain and is often powered by electricity. The disposal device shreds food scraps into pieces small enough to fit through pipes. In most kitchens, this is a crucial item; if it breaks down, it might cause a lot of trouble.

The services for repair that we provide are indeed the best in the market! We have been providing repair services for garbage disposals and other appliances for over a decade, and our employees are trained from factories that make these appliances! You can book an appointment for diagnosis or repair services from our website or by calling our number.

Benefits for customers

Getting garbage disposal units repaired is a very good option for customers because it has a lot of benefits attached to it. If you hire Applince Bay Repairs for repair services, then it could be even more beneficial. Explained below are some of the benefits a working garbage disposal unit provides.

No Bad Odour In Kitchen

A garbage disposal can ensure no unpleasant smell in your kitchen by breaking down waste into very little pieces and preventing the extra waste from having a chance to sit around and decompose.

Cleaning the disposal unit regularly is a fantastic additional technique to maintain your drains smelling fresh. Add some dish soap to it, then let it run under ice water. This will keep the pipes in your appliance and your unit smelling fresh.

It Aids In Making Dishwashing Easy

Your life will become easier if you have a garbage disposal unit and a dishwasher. You can shovel the smaller pieces of food into the sink instead of throwing them in the garbage.

The motor will break down any extra food particles before flushing them through your pipes with water. This expedites dishwashing and avoids backups. Before washing, completely flush the waste with a cold water stream to ensure everything makes it through the pipes.

The Problem Of Clogged Pipelines Will Be Solved

food scraps always seem to find their way into the sink, where they block the drain basket or, worse, the piping system for the kitchen sink.

This may result in expensive service calls to clear your clogged drains. That issue can be resolved with the use of a garbage disposal system. Before food scraps may reach your plumbing system, they must first travel through the disposal device on their way through the drain basket.

Problems

Garbage disposals are very practical and make our lives 10 times easier. However, there are many issues that they pose as well. Some of these issues are mentioned below.

Clogged Garbage Disposal Unit

Water and liquids would either back up into the sink or flow slowly from the sink when garbage disposals are clogged, which will produce a humming sound. Something is blocking the waste disposal blades from rotating, causing clogged garbage disposal.

Garbage Disposal Does Not Work

Possible problems with the disposal include a loose plug or a broken reset button. It could be necessary to replace the electrical switch for disposal. It may be necessary to reset the circuit breaker for the garbage disposal or the motor if it has been overloaded. The motor can be completely dead. You should contact your neighbourhood electrician if the problem is electrical.

Leakage

Leaks from garbage disposals can enter the dishwasher, the rest of the plumbing system, or the drainpipe from their top, sides, and bottoms. Seals on garbage disposals can occasionally leak as well.

Non-Draining Garbage Disposal

When garbage disposal operates effectively, food scraps are immediately broken up, and liquids are promptly drained. If you find food and water coming back up to the sink, it may be a sign that the pipes are clogged or that the sink’s blades are dull.

Noisy Garbage Disposal

A garbage disposal unit that emits strange noises frequently has a problem. Metal grinding is the most frequent sound. This grinding sound is caused by anything getting stuck in the disposal’s blades, a lost component, or a missing component that has been lost.

Bad Smell

Food particles will build up in your garbage disposal over time and release strong, unpleasant odours. These smells only suggest that your disposal needs to be thoroughly cleaned, not that anything is wrong with it.

Useful maintenance tips

Maintenance recommendation

If you want your garbage disposal unit to work for a very long period, we suggest you follow some of the instructions for maintenance given below.

  1. Clean the unit every week by draining hot water, so it does not get clogged.
  2. Use baking soda and vinegar to avoid a bad smell building up.
  3. Do not throw lots of sticky materials in the sink because these will clog the unit.
  4. Keep checking for leakage, and clean the unit after every use.
