Signs Your Garbage Disposal Needs Replacement

If repairs are not available or feasible, a replacement will be necessary to ensure your kitchen remains functional. Recognizing when to replace your garbage disposal can save you from ongoing inconvenience and costly repairs.

Consider replacing your unit when you encounter any of the following situations:

• Age: If your garbage disposal is over ten years old and causing problems, replacing it may be more economical in the long run.
• Frequent clogging: If your garbage disposal clogs frequently despite proper use and maintenance, the blades may be dull, or the motor may be weak. 
• Unusual noises: Sounds like grinding metal, thumping, or loud humming can indicate motor problems, a jam, or that parts inside the disposal are loose or worn out.
• Severe leaks: If there's a leak through the unit's casing, this typically indicates irreparable damage, necessitating a replacement.
• Non-functioning motor: When the motor fails to run despite troubleshooting efforts, it's probably time for a new garbage disposal.
• Cost of repairs: If the cost is more than half the price of a new unit, replacement is a better investment.
• Innovation and efficiency: Newer models offer features that can save water, energy, or provide better functionality that aligns with your current needs.
