What should I do if my garbage disposal is humming but not working?

If your garbage disposal is humming but not grinding, stop using it and leave the switch off. We offer same-day garbage disposal repair, minor on-site fixes, and full replacement with free estimates for plumbing and repair work. Use our care tip: “Feed only small amounts of soft food… Avoid hard, fibrous, or stringy items.” Drain cleaning specials (e.g., service for $99) can help prevent clogs that affect disposals in West Lafayette and Lafayette.

• Quick checks: run cold water, clear the sink, then schedule service for diagnosis.
