Your garbage disposal exists to make life easier for you in the kitchen. However, it's not hard to forget that your garbage disposal can't handle everything you throw at it. For instance, many people aren't aware that they shouldn't put starchy or oily foods down the kitchen sink. Starchy food scraps, like potatoes or corn husks are difficult for your disposal to break down. Fats, oils, and greases might start off as a liquid, but they soon cool off and solidify after traveling down your kitchen drain. One of our objectives is to educate our customers on the proper use of their kitchen garbage disposal so they are able to maintain it for the full manufacturer's warranty period.
If your garbage disposal isn't turning on, smells like burning electrical, or sounds like it's trying to grind up a chunk of metal, it's important that you turn it off and call our Rancho Cordova garbage disposal repair crew ASAP. We can decipher what's going on with your unit, removing any stuck objects, repairing your blades, or otherwise.
