Garbage Disposal Not Working? We’ll Take Care Of It!

Garbage Disposal Repair & Troubleshooting

More than simply a convenient kitchen appliance, garbage disposals help keep food waste out of landfills, which is great for the environment. When your garbage disposal is leaking, clogged, or simply not working, call Travis County Appliance Repair for expert garbage disposal repair and troubleshooting. We’ll repair this vital part of your home and allow you to continue benefiting the earth.

In households with sewer access, disposals send food waste to wastewater treatment plants where organic solids can be processed into fertilizers. More advanced wastewater plants can even capture bio gas from disposal waste for energy production.

We repair two main types of garbage disposals:

Noticed any of the below issues? It may be time to call on the professional technicians at Travis County Appliance Repair for garbage and waste disposal repair in Austin, TX. We work quickly to identify the problem, and we provide a fast and effective solution for your garbage disposal troubles.

Some Common Issues:

The garbage disposal is not working—no power. heck your fuse box or circuit breakers for power issues. Otherwise locate the small, red reset button on the bottom of your system. If it is popped out, the disposal has overheated. Clear the jam and try resetting it. If you have power and there is no sound, the motor is probably worn out.

The garbage disposal is jammed. High fiber foods, cornhusks, avocado leaves, bones, utensils, and more can jam your disposal. Never put your hand in the disposal to clear this jam. If your disposal has a hole for a socket wrench under the motor, use the wrench to rotate the masher plate and attempt to clear the ja

The garbage disposal drain is clogged. Address clogs by turning off the power at the main disconnect, disassembling the trap, and clearing the clog with a drain snake. After reassembly, turn the water on to check if the clog has cleared

CONTINUOUS FEED

These models operate when you flip a wall or accessory switch. A rubber shield or baffle contains food within the unit and helps the disposal run more quietly than other types.

BATCH FEED

These only activate when the disposal lid is engaged and the disposal is covered. They take a bit longer to set up but are great for homes with children or people who prefer extra safety.

Clear, accurate, timely and excellent quality of work. Professional performance. Michael's diagnosis was spot on. Got the part for our cooktop that other's... claimed was "nonexistent", bordering on the mythical, and after 2.5 months of hell waiting for repairs by another provider, he got it done right, in short order and with a smile. We're fans. Thanks Michael!read more

I had them install a new dishwasher, in part because all of the local sellers didn't have installation availability for a month or more. I needed a dishwasher... sooner than that, so I conducted my own search and ended up with Travis County Appliance Repair. They were super flexible working with me and my every changing schedule. The folks who came out were friendly, and made quick work of the installation. I highly recommend them!read more

Overall: Plenty and prompt communication updates via email and text.

I wanted a professional look over to see if there's anything I missed with my own maintenance routine.Outcome: Nothing wrong with my washer. I got peace of mind that my maintenance was working.

I found Travis County Appliance Repair through Thumbtack. My inquiry was answered by them within minutes and they were able to provide an earlier, reasonable,... service time than one from another provider I had contacted. Our technician, Michael, arrived within the time frame expected and came prepared with parts needed based on the information I had provided. He was friendly, professional, and wasted no time getting to work. He was done in no more than a half hour. Fridge is now cooling nicely. He also took a look at a second fridge and answered my questions about its performance. It's nice to have a technician that knows what he's doing. Dispatch was also very helpful, delivering a message to Michael about where to park and which door to come to. Best repair experience I've had in years. Highly recommended.read more

I was very impressed with Travis Co Appliance Repair. The customer service rep made sure she understood the problem when I called in to make a service appointment.... So much so that the repair guy showed up with the part he thought was likely my oven would need. The company had a great notification system where I got a link to see the technician’s route progress when he was on the way, so I knew exactly when he would arrive. He diagnosed and fixed the oven quickly, explained what was wrong, and was very efficient. Highly recommend!read more

Beyond grateful to finally have a repair company I can rely on and that I can trust. My technicians were extremely knowledgeable about our appliances and once they... had the problems diagnosed, the repairs were done in a timely manner and I think their pricing is very fair. Lastly, but something that was not lost on me as a woman, is that I never felt uncomfortable asking what may have been dumb questions. My technician, Mike, was always able to answer all of them effectively and without any judgement. I highly recommend Travis County Appliance Repair and while I don’t want to need them, I’m glad they will be there when I do.read more
