A prevalent issue encountered with garbage disposal systems is when the unit becomes jammed, hindering its ability to efficiently grind and dispose of food waste. Jams typically occur when foreign objects, fibrous materials, or an excess of food particles obstruct the rotation of the disposal blades. This problem not only disrupts the grinding mechanism but can also lead to unpleasant odors and potential motor strain. Attempting to force the disposal to work when jammed can result in further damage. To address a jammed garbage disposal system, it is advisable to turn off the unit and refrain from using it until the issue is resolved. Rest assured, Orca Appliance Services is here to help you repair your garbage disposal system and can get it back up and running in no time.

A common issue with garbage disposal systems is a malfunctioning motor, which can disrupt the efficient grinding and disposal of food waste. Motor malfunctions often manifest as the disposal unit not turning on, making unusual noises, or operating intermittently. These problems may arise from overuse, wear and tear, electrical issues, or mechanical failures within the motor components. At Orca Appliance Services, our skilled technicians specialize in identifying motor problems, determining whether repairs or replacements are necessary. Attempting to address motor issues without expertise can lead to further damage and increased repair costs. Give us a call today to get your motor examined and repaired, if possible.

A common and concerning issue with garbage disposal systems is the occurrence of leaks, which can compromise the functionality of the unit and potentially lead to water damage. Leaks in a garbage disposal system often manifest as moisture around the unit or in the adjacent plumbing connections. These leaks may be caused by worn-out seals, loose connections, or cracks in the disposal’s housing or pipes. If you notice any signs of leakage in your garbage disposal system, it’s essential to address the problem promptly to prevent water damage and potential mold growth. The team at Orca Appliance Services, specializes in identifying and resolving leaks in garbage disposal systems. Our experienced technicians conduct thorough inspections to pinpoint the source of the leak, whether it’s a damaged seal or a loose connection, and implement the necessary repairs.
