A disposal that hums but won't spin usually has something lodged in the flywheel, cleared safely with the power disconnected first.
{A motor that's overheating, tripping the reset repeatedly, or making grinding noises gets diagnosed for repair versus replacement.|We test motor function and electrical connections together, since either can cause similar symptoms.}
New disposal installation includes checking the electrical connection and drain alignment, not just swapping the unit.
We isolate whether the leak is the disposal itself or a connection point before recommending a fix.
A disposal that keeps tripping its reset button or the circuit breaker gets a full electrical diagnosis, not just a reset and hope.
We check whether the odor is actually the disposal or a trap issue further down the line.

A humming motor with no spin is the classic sign of a mechanical jam, not usually a motor failure.
Units past 8-10 years with a significant failure often make more sense to replace — we'll give you honest numbers on both.
It depends on the issue — a jam clearing costs far less than a full replacement. We quote upfront before starting.
Repeated tripping deserves a real electrical check, not just resetting it and hoping it stops.
Not always — sometimes it's just a worn seal or gasket that can be repaired without replacing the whole unit.
Yes, we install customer-supplied disposals as long as they're properly sized for your sink and usage.
