A customer on Northstar Street in Carrollton called about their KitchenAid garbage disposal leaking under the sink. We diagnosed the unit and determined it needed complete replacement with a new 1/2 horsepower disposal.
The Problem
The customer reported their garbage disposal was leaking under the sink. Water damage under kitchen sinks can quickly spread to cabinets and flooring if not addressed promptly.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found the existing KitchenAid garbage disposal had developed leaks that couldn’t be economically repaired. The unit required full replacement to stop the water damage.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: Complete garbage disposal unit — 1/2 hp replacement
- Work performed: Installed new garbage disposal
- Result: Customer now has a fully functional disposal with no leaks
Is It Worth Repairing?
KitchenAid makes reliable disposals, but when the housing develops leaks, replacement is usually the most cost-effective solution. A new 1/2 hp unit provides years of dependable service and eliminates the risk of recurring leaks that could damage kitchen cabinets.
Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Garbage Disposals
- Run cold water before, during, and after using the disposal to keep waste moving through the system
- Grind ice cubes monthly to clean the blades and remove buildup
- Avoid putting grease, coffee grounds, or fibrous vegetables down the disposal
