Garbage Disposal Repair?

Garbage Disposal problems can be plumbing, electrical or appliance. If the disposal doesn’t work at all – no *hum* or any sound, then push the red (reset) button on the bottom of the disposal unit. If that doesn’t work, check the breaker in the electrical panel. If the unit *hums* but doesn’t turn then you can try unsticking it.. Some units come with a wrench that you can use to turn the cutter flywheel from the bottom. (Allen wrenches will work). Or, use something with a handle, and stick it in the disposal and try to turn the cutting wheel around. In effect – unstick it. If the unit doesn’t respond to the above, it’s time for Flush Masters to come take a look or replace the unit.

Garbage Disposals/Dishwashers and Septic Systems?

It’s our understanding that having a disposal is like having another person adding to the load on the septic system. So… are you currently under utilizing your system, over using or about right? Dishwasher on a septic system? I don’t think really matters. If you have a dishwasher – run it into a disposal even if you did not use the disposal for anything else.
