Repairing KitchenAid Garbage Disposals
Before ordering anything for a KitchenAid garbage disposal, we look up the exact model number. Parts that look alike often differ between production runs, and matching the model avoids repeat visits.
How we repair your KitchenAid Garbage Disposal
A garbage disposal mounts under the kitchen sink and uses a spinning plate and grinding ring to break food waste into small particles that wash down the drain. A garbage disposal usually involves a motor or ram, switches and safety interlocks, and seals, or a passive system of baffles and drains. A technician checks power and switches, clears jams or buildup, and inspects seals and connections for leaks.
