KitchenAid Disposal Repair – Kent, OH (Garbage Disposal)

A Kent homeowner called when their garbage disposal jammed and the sink wouldn’t drain. Samuel arrived to find a disposal that just needed to be broken loose with the wrench.

The Problem

The customer reported their garbage disposal was jammed and the sink won’t drain. Water was backing up in the sink with no way to clear it through normal operation.

Diagnosis

Samuel found the KitchenAid disposal had items lodged in the grinding chamber that prevented the flywheel from turning. This is a common issue that typically requires manual intervention to free the mechanism.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None
• Work performed: Broken loose with the wrench
• Result: It drains and operates properly

Is It Worth Repairing?

KitchenAid disposals are well-built units that can last many years with proper care. When a jam is the only issue and the motor still runs strong, clearing it is always worthwhile compared to replacement costs.

Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Disposals

• Run cold water before, during, and after using the disposal to help solidify fats and oils for easier grinding
• Keep the hex wrench that came with your KitchenAid disposal handy for future jams
• Avoid putting fibrous materials like celery, corn husks, or onion skins down the disposal
