Leaks- Over time, the bottom of the disposal can corrode, or its internal seals may fail, leading to drip‑through leaks.

Jams– Large volumes of food scraps or hard‑to‑grind items (such as seeds or small foreign objects) can cause the grinding mechanism to seize.

Humming– A humming sound often indicates that the motor or impeller has seized or burned out.

No response– Flipping the switch yields no noise or movement, suggesting an electrical or motor failure.

Poor drainage– Accumulated food debris clogs the disposal, preventing proper sink drainage.
