In Sink Erator Not Working

In sink erators are a convenient way to dispose of food waste, but they can sometimes stop working. If your in sink erator is not working, there are a few things you can check to try and fix the problem.

First, check to make sure that the power is turned on to the in sink erator. The power switch is usually located under the sink. If the power is on, then the next step is to check the reset button.

The reset button is usually located on the side of the in sink erator. Press the reset button to see if that fixes the problem. If the reset button does not fix the problem, then the next step is to check the fuse.

The fuse is usually located under the sink. If the fuse is blown, then it will need to be replaced. You can purchase a new fuse at a hardware store.

If the fuse is not blown, then the next step is to check the motor. The motor is usually located at the bottom of the in sink erator. If the motor is not running, then it will need to be replaced.

You can purchase a new motor at a hardware store. If you are not comfortable replacing the motor yourself, you can call a plumber to do it for you.

If you have checked all of the above and your in sink erator is still not working, then it is possible that the problem is with the electrical wiring. You should call a plumber to troubleshoot the electrical wiring and fix the problem.

Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting an in sink erator that is not working:

Make sure that there is nothing blocking the drain opening.
Run hot water down the drain to see if that helps to clear the blockage.
Try using a plunger to clear the blockage.
If you have a garbage disposal, make sure that it is turned off before you use the in sink erator.
Do not put hard objects, such as bones or fruit pits, into the in sink erator.
If you have a septic tank, do not put grease or fat into the in sink erator.
