Common Garbage Disposal Problems & When to Call a Pro
A dead garbage disposal shuts down the whole kitchen — the sink backs up, the smell arrives, and suddenly you’re scraping plates into the trash like it’s 1985. Appliances Pro Inc. repairs and replaces InSinkErator, Waste King, Moen, and the other major disposal brands across Northern Virginia, often the same day you call.
Disposal Humming But Not Spinning
A hum with no grinding means the flywheel is jammed — usually a stray utensil, a bone, or fibrous scraps. Don’t keep hitting the switch; that’s how motors burn out. We clear the jam safely and check the bearings before it runs again.
Disposal Won’t Turn On
Reset button did nothing? Breaker’s fine? Then it’s likely a failed switch, a wiring fault, or a burned-out motor. We’ll tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether a new unit is the smarter spend.
Leaking Under the Sink
Under-sink leaks come from the sink flange, the dishwasher connection, or a cracked housing. A cracked body means replacement; everything else is repairable. Either way, we stop the drip before it ruins the cabinet.
Draining Slowly or Backing Up
A disposal that drains slowly or backs up usually has a clogged discharge pipe or trap. We clear the line, check the mounting, and make sure the dishwasher connection flows the way it should.

Had a leak in my Samsung washing machine. Tested the machine and quickly found the leak. The part, which has to be ordered, is easy to install. Rather than push the installation on me he suggested I could save money and do it myself. I really appreciated that and have ordered the part and will install myself. It’s rare to see a company willing to loose a job to save the customer money.

I never post about the repair service we received. But Jay repaired my washing machine, the service was quick, on time and when I found a minor glitch he returned and fix the problem with no extra charge. I highly recommend his company.

Both Sonny and Jay provided excellent service. Repaired a 10+ year dryer. Ordered and picked up hard to find part. I highly recommend Appliance Pro Inc.

Although I did not have them do a repair. They spoke with me for a good while and advised me that the best option would be to replace the appliance over attempting any further repair.
That spoke volumes to me, as they took the time out of their busy day to speak with me and guide me in the right direction without spending any money.
Thank you for the advice, and when my next appliance issue arises, I know who I am calling.

Appliances Pro technicians are licensed and insured specialists — serving Fairfax, Prince William & Loudoun counties and the Warrenton area since 2008. Call or book online.
How much does garbage disposal repair cost in Northern Virginia?
We charge a service call fee to diagnose the issue — which is fully waived if you proceed with the repair. You’ll receive a clear, upfront quote before we touch anything. No surprises, no pressure.
Do you repair all garbage disposal brands?
Yes — we service all major brands including InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Whirlaway, and more. Our technicians specialize across multiple manufacturers.
