Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance not only keeps your garbage disposal smelling fresh and running efficiently, but it also helps extend its lifespan and prevents costly plumbing problems.

Clean the unit regularly. Every week or two, grind up a few ice cubes and lemon or orange peels to clean the blades and freshen the unit. You can also sprinkle a little baking soda, let it sit, and rinse with vinegar and cold water.
Avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain.
Check for leaks or strange noises.
Reset When It Stops Working. Many disposals have a small reset button at the bottom. Pressing it can restart the motor if it’s overheated or jammed — a simple fix for a common issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your garbage disposal is still relatively new and the issue is minor—such as a jam, clog, or worn-out seal—repairing it is absolutely worth it and can extend its lifespan for years. However, if the unit is over 10 years old, noisy, leaking, or frequently trips the reset button, replacement may be the smarter long-term investment.

Some minor garbage disposal issues — like pressing the reset button, removing small food jams with tongs, or cleaning out debris buildup — can safely be handled at home. Always make sure the power is off before doing any troubleshooting. However, if the unit is humming but not spinning, leaking from the bottom, tripping the circuit, or making unusual noises, it’s best to call a professional. Attempting to repair electrical or internal motor problems without the right tools can be dangerous.
