Repair or Replace Your Disposal?

Garbage disposals can sometimes be repaired, but replacement is often more practical.

Replacement is usually better if:

  • The disposal is more than 8-10 years old
  • The motor hums but doesn't spin (burned out motor)
  • It leaks from the bottom (seal failure)
  • Repair costs exceed half the price of a new unit
