Garbage Disposal Repair
Garbage Disposal Repair in Arlington, VA & the Surrounding DMV
A small motor with a big job, when it's working right.
Flip the switch under the sink, and a disposal either answers with its usual grind or it doesn't answer at all -- and it's rarely anything in between.
Adams Appliance Care works out of Arlington, VA, and gets that call often: a disposal that went from fine to completely jammed in the time it takes to rinse one plate.
It's a small machine doing constant, unglamorous work, and when it stops, whatever you just scraped off the plate has nowhere to go.
Garbage Disposal Solutions in Arlington, VA
Garbage disposal solutions in Arlington, VA, cover more than a single failure mode.
Sometimes it's a jam -- maybe a fork slipped in, or perhaps a fibrous scrap of celery wound around the impeller -- and the unit hums without turning.
Sometimes it's gone silent altogether, tripped or shorted, with nothing happening when the switch is flipped. Our technicians clear obstructions by hand rather than reaching for chemical drain cleaners that can damage the disposal or its components
Garbage Disposal Repair That Knows the Difference Between Fix and Replace
Garbage disposal repair isn't always the right call, and we say so when it isn't.
A unit a few years old with a stuck impeller is usually worth saving. But one that's leaking at the base or years past its expected life is often cheaper to replace than to keep patching.
We'll tell you honestly which situation you're in before we start any work, not after.
What We Handle
Jammed blades, humming motors that won't grind, leaks at the sink flange or discharge pipe, tripped reset switches, and wiring that's failed all fall under a single visit.
Most repairs are finished the same day, so your sink isn't out of commission longer than it has to be.

Fixing Kitchen Disposals That Hum, Clog, or Won't Turn On
Why is my garbage disposal jammed and not turning?
Jams typically occur from foreign objects, fibrous foods, or bone fragments. We safely clear obstructions using proper tools, check for damaged blades, and reset the unit. Never use chemical drain cleaners in disposals.
My disposal is humming but not grinding - what's wrong?
This indicates a jammed impeller or stuck mechanism. The motor is trying to turn but can't. We'll safely clear the obstruction, check for damaged components, and ensure free rotation before restoring power.
How do I know if I need repair or replacement?
Based on 26 years of experience, we'll assess the disposal's age, repair cost, and overall condition. Many disposals can be repaired economically, but we provide honest advice on when replacement makes more sense.
Do you offer same-day garbage disposal repair?
Yes! Call (571) 666-2828 or book online for same-day service in most cases. We understand that a broken disposal creates immediate inconvenience and strive to provide prompt repairs throughout Falls Church, VA.
