Garbage Disposal Repair in Riverside, CA

You toss some dinner scraps down the garbage disposal, then flick the switch to turn it on — but nothing happens. Perhaps the disposal makes a terrifying grinding noise, or maybe it doesn’t turn on at all…

Whatever the case, you need speedy garbage disposal repair from Dragonfly Heating & Cooling.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems

Garbage disposals are fairly simple mechanically, but even so, there’s a lot that can go wrong with yours.

Common issues we see with garbage disposals include:

• Grinding issues: If your disposal isn’t chopping up scraps well anymore, its blades may have dulled.
• Clogged blades: This is by far one of the most common issues with disposals. The blades can become clogged if you toss something down the disposal that you shouldn’t have, such as pasta, rice, or bread.
• Motor overheating: The motor can overheat and burn out if you keep trying to run the unit when the blades are clogged.
• Water leaks: Water leaks can crop up almost anywhere in your disposal, from the reset button to the gaskets and drain lines.

It’s not uncommon to have several of these problems at once. Not to worry, though, because our professionals will have your disposal up and running again in no time.
