Garbage Disposal How To Fix Humming
This week on Money Saving Tips, we go under the kitchen sink to fix a jammed garbage disposal.
Out of all the appliances in a modern kitchen, I believe the humble garbage disposal unit is the most obscure device. It sits silently, in the dark, behind closed doors for its entire life and it may only see use for a few seconds a day. In fact, I actually know of some households where the garbage disposal is never used.
So what do you do when the garbage disposal jams, hums or doesn’t respond when you flip the switch on? You could call the maintenance man if you have one, or a local plumber who will most likely charge a $75+ service fee just to come out. Or with 5 minutes and 1 tool you could go about fixing the issue yourself with our step by step guide below.
