Why is my garbage disposal humming but not turning?

A humming disposal in Auburn usually means the motor is getting power but the blades are jammed. This is often caused by a hard object — bone, utensil, or hard food — stuck in the grinding chamber. We can usually clear the jam promptly. If the motor has burned out, replacement is the best option.

Should I repair or replace my garbage disposal?

If your disposal in Auburn is less than 8 years old and the problem is a jam or clog, repair is usually worth it. If the disposal is older, leaking from the body, or the motor has failed, replacement is typically more cost-effective. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on the unit's age and condition.

How long does disposal replacement take?

Most garbage disposal replacements in Auburn take 45 to 90 minutes. We carry common replacement units on every truck, so we can often complete the replacement the same visit. We handle the electrical connection, mounting, and drain connections, and we test for leaks before wrapping up.

Why Auburn Trusts The Water Works

Since 1985, The Water Works has repaired and replaced thousands of garbage disposals across Greater Sacramento. We work with all major brands — Insinkerator, Waste King, Moen, and GE. We carry common replacement units on every truck and can usually complete a disposal replacement in under an hour. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair will fix the problem or whether it's time for a new unit.

Humming but not spinning?

A disposal that hums is powered but jammed — usually a bone, pit, or utensil. Clearing a jam is a repair, not a replacement. If the motor is burned out or the housing is leaking, we'll say so.

Choosing the right horsepower

For most households 1/2 to 3/4 HP is plenty; larger families and heavy cooking benefit from 1 HP. We install Insinkerator, Waste King, Moen, and GE units at supplier cost — no markup.
