Frequently asked questions
How do I reset my garbage disposal?
Turn it off, press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit, and try again. If it hums but does not spin, use the hex key in the socket on the bottom to free it. Never put your hand inside.
What should not go in a disposal?
Grease, fibrous vegetables like celery, potato peels, rice, pasta, coffee grounds in quantity, and bones.
Is it better to repair or replace?
Jams and loose connections are repairs. A leak from the body of the unit or a burned-out motor means replacement.
