Frequently Asked Questions About Garbage Disposal Clog Removal
Why is my garbage disposal humming but not spinning?
The flywheel is jammed by a hard food particle or foreign object, triggering the internal thermal overload breaker.
Can I put lemons or ice in my garbage disposal?
Ice helps dislodge food particles from blades, and small citrus slices can freshen odors, but avoid hard lemon rinds in large quantities.
