How we repair your Garbage Disposal
A garbage disposal mounts under the kitchen sink and uses a spinning plate and grinding ring to break food waste into small particles that wash down the drain. A garbage disposal usually involves a motor or ram, switches and safety interlocks, and seals, or a passive system of baffles and drains. A technician checks power and switches, clears jams or buildup, and inspects seals and connections for leaks.
