We test the unit to see if it's jammed, has a failed motor, or an electrical issue. We also check for leaks.
If it's a jam or a simple reset, we fix it. If the motor is burned out or the housing is cracked, we recommend replacement.
We remove the old unit and install a new InSinkErator or similar high-quality brand. We install a new mounting bracket and ensure a vibration-free fit.
We run water and test the unit with a load to ensure it grinds effectively and doesn't leak.
A humming sound usually means the flywheel is jammed but the motor is trying to turn. Turn it off immediately to avoid burning out the motor! We can usually unjam this manually.
