Garbage Disposal Problem
When I turn on my garbage disposal I can hear the motor spin up, and down
when I turn it on/off. The turntable with the hammers is not spinning, though. The table plus hammers kind of wobbles around in the grinding chamber when I poke at it with a stick. It seem loose. Maybe not connected to the motor drive shaft?? Water flows freely through the unit. Any ideas for repairs or do I buy a new one? It is 25 years old. Any recommended brand? Thanks -- Walter www.rationality.net - |

You have a garbage can don't you? Put your swill in a zip lock bag before you toss it and it won't stink. Zip locks come in sizes from half sandwich size all the way up to 'real big'. I just use plastic rap |

Goes to the landfill, incinerator or ? Ground up food waste goes to a sewage treatment plant; gets primary, secondary & perhaps tertiary treatment and into the ocean or a river to be truly recycled. If you really want to get rid of your GD.....compost food waste (less fat & meat) cheers Bob |
