When to Replace Your Garbage Disposal
If you’re noticing signs of trouble with your garbage disposal, it might be time for a replacement. Here’s what to watch out for:
- Recurring Clogs: If your disposal frequently gets clogged, it might be a sign that the unit’s grinding components are worn out.
- Unusual Noises: Strange grinding, rattling, or metallic sounds could mean internal parts are damaged or loose.
- Persistent Odors: Lingering odors may indicate a buildup or components that cannot be cleaned effectively anymore.
- Leaks: Water accumulating under your sink can be a sign that the seals or connections in the disposal have deteriorated.
- Decreased Performance: If your garbage disposal takes longer to break down food waste or does not grind it up as well as it used to, it may be losing efficiency.
- Age: Most garbage disposals last about 8-15 years. If your unit is approaching or exceeding this age and is showing signs of wear and tear or any of the symptoms above, it may be time for an upgrade.

How do I maintain my garbage disposal?
What can go in garbage disposal?
Garbage disposals are designed for food scraps, but certain items should be avoided. You can safely grind small food residues like vegetable peels, fruit scraps, and small amounts of leftover food. Avoid hard items like bones, fibrous foods like celery, and starchy items like potato peels as they can damage the blades or clog the drain.
How do I fix a garbage disposal that is not working?
Turn off and unplug the garbage disposal if it stops working. Press the reset button on the bottom of the unit, if present. If the garbage disposal still won’t work, check for blockages and clear them. You can also try to manually turn the blades with a hex wrench (some models may not have this feature). If the problem persists, call a professional.
How Long Can a Garbage Disposal Last?
If you use your garbage disposal and clean it on a regular basis with proper maintenance, it can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. The lifespan of a garbage disposal depends on how often you use it, the quality of the model, and how well you maintain it.
