Disposals give plenty of warning before they quit. Call for service if:
The unit hums but the blades do not turn
Water leaks from the bottom of the housing
Persistent odour that cleaning does not fix
Loud grinding, rattling or metal-on-metal noise
The sink backs up whenever the disposal runs
The unit is over 10 years old and needs resetting frequently
At APES, disposal service covers the appliance and the drain plumbing it connects to:
Jam clearing, reset and impeller service
Humming, tripping and leaking unit repair
Motor, switch and electrical fault diagnosis
New disposal installation and old unit removal
Mounting, splash guard and discharge tube replacement
Drain, P-trap and dishwasher line service
A disposal is the one place in your kitchen where plumbing and 120V electrical meet under a sink full of water. Here is why professional service is essential:
Disposals need correct grounding and a working switch. Wet hands, a sink and a miswired unit are a serious hazard.
A badly seated mount leaks at the sink flange and vibrates loose. Proper installation seals and supports the unit.
Wrong discharge alignment and missing dishwasher knockouts cause backups the day after installation. Repeated clogged plumbing after a disposal install is almost always this.
Horsepower should match household use. Undersized units jam constantly; we size to how you actually cook.
APES holds ROC #311047 CR63 for appliances alongside our plumbing licence, so the whole job is covered properly.
We determine whether the unit is jammed, electrically faulted or mechanically finished, and recommend repair or replacement honestly.
You receive a flat quote covering parts, labour and disposal of the old unit. Most appointments take under two hours.
Our technicians clear the jam or remove and install the new unit, reseal the sink flange and reconnect drain and dishwasher lines.
We run the unit under full water flow, check the housing and connections for leaks, and confirm the dishwasher drains correctly.
We clear the cabinet, haul the old unit, and show you where the reset button is and what should never go in the disposal.
Do not reach into it and do not keep hitting the switch. Trust APES for garbage disposal repair in Phoenix AZ, usually same-day, with the price agreed before we start.
Disposals last far longer when they are used the way they were designed to be:
Cold water keeps grease solid so it grinds and flushes instead of coating the line.
Celery, onion skins, corn husks and potato peels wrap the impellers.
Grease coats the drain line; bones and fruit pits damage the grind ring.
A cup of ice cubes knocks scale and debris off the impellers.
Citrus peel and cold water clears odour without the chemicals that damage seals.
Unused disposals seize and corrode. Run it briefly even when you have nothing to grind.
Caustic drain cleaners corrode the housing and the seals from the inside. If you need to know how to unclog a drain safely, mechanical clearing is the answer.

That is a jam. The motor is receiving power but the impeller plate is stuck. Cut the power first, then call forcing it repeatedly burns out the motor.
Clearing a jam is inexpensive. A leaking housing or failed motor usually means replacement is the better value. We quote both options before starting.
Typically 8-12 years. Units used heavily, or used for things they should not grind, fail sooner.
Yes, provided there is a suitable electrical supply under the sink. If not, we will tell you what is needed before booking.
Leaks come from the sink flange, the discharge tube gasket or the housing itself. Flange and gasket leaks are repairable; a leaking housing means the unit is finished.
1/2 HP suits light use, 3/4 HP suits most families, and 1 HP suits heavy cooking households. We size it to your kitchen.
Usually yes. New units ship with the knockout plug in place — if it is not removed at installation, the dishwasher will not drain.
The disposal was not the blockage. Grease and food buildup further along the kitchen line is the usual cause, and it needs clearing or hydrojetting rather than another disposal repair.
