How To Fix My Sink Disposal

If your sink disposal isn't working properly, there are a few things you can do to try to fix it yourself. First, check to see if the power is on. If it is, then try resetting the disposal. To do this, simply unplug it from the wall for a few seconds and then plug it back in. If the disposal still isn't working, then you can try to clear the jam. To do this, use a pair of pliers to grab the flywheel and turn it back and forth. If you can't clear the jam, then you may need to call a plumber.

Here are some other tips for troubleshooting a sink disposal:

If the disposal is making a humming noise, then it may be overloaded. Try to reduce the amount of food waste that you're putting down the disposal.
If the disposal is leaking, then it may be a problem with the seals. You can try to tighten the seals yourself, but if that doesn't work, then you may need to call a plumber.
If the disposal is making a grinding noise, then it may be a problem with the blades. You can try to sharpen the blades yourself, but if that doesn't work, then you may need to replace the blades.

If you've tried all of these troubleshooting tips and your sink disposal still isn't working, then you may need to call a plumber. A plumber will be able to diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs.
