FAQs
How can I tell whether my garbage disposal only needs a quick reset instead of a full replacement?
Most disposals are equipped with an internal circuit-breaker that trips when the motor overheats or jams. Signs that a simple reset might solve the issue include: (1) the unit suddenly stopped mid-use without any grinding noises, (2) the sink drain is clear of objects but the motor will not hum or turn, and (3) pressing the reset button causes the unit to run for a moment before shutting off again. If the disposal leaks, makes loud metal-on-metal sounds, or frequently trips breakers, you likely need a more extensive repair or replacement. Our Benton technicians can diagnose the difference within minutes of arrival.
What happens during your "quick reset" garbage disposal service call in Benton?
Our licensed plumber will first switch off power at the wall and breaker panel for safety. We then inspect the chamber for jams, remove any lodged debris, and manually rotate the flywheel with a hex key to verify free movement. After clearing the obstruction, we press the red reset button on the base, restore power, and test-run the disposal under water flow. We also check for leaks at the sink flange and discharge tube, tighten connections, and give you maintenance pointers—all typically in under 30 minutes.
Is it safe for me to press the red reset button myself?
Yes—if the sink opening is clear, the wall switch is OFF, and you do not reach into the chamber with your fingers. Locate the small red button on the bottom of the disposal, wipe away moisture, press firmly once, then restore power. If the button immediately pops out again or the unit still refuses to run, shut the breaker off and call our Benton office. Repeated resets without correcting the underlying jam can burn out the motor.
How much does a quick reset or minor garbage disposal repair usually cost in Benton?
For most homes inside Benton city limits, our upfront pricing is $89 for a diagnostic and quick reset service; this covers travel, jam removal, button reset, and a full safety check. If we find worn seals, cracked housings, or electrical issues that require additional parts or labor, we’ll provide a firm quote before work continues. Ninety percent of service calls end at the basic rate with no extra charges.
How soon can a technician arrive if my disposal stops working during dinner prep?
We offer same-day service 7 am–7 pm Monday through Saturday. Calls booked before 3 pm are usually served within a 2-hour arrival window. For after-hours emergencies in Benton, our on-call plumber can typically be at your door within 60–90 minutes, subject to a modest emergency fee.
What can I do to prevent my disposal from tripping its reset button again?
1. Run cold water before, during, and 20 seconds after grinding. 2. Feed waste gradually—avoid stuffing large amounts at once. 3. Never grind fibrous foods (celery, corn husks), grease, coffee grounds, or expandable starches like pasta and rice. 4. Cut large scraps into smaller pieces. 5. Once a month, grind a tray of ice cubes with a citrus peel to clean the blades and freshen odors. 6. Schedule an annual inspection; small leaks or loose wiring caught early can stop resets from recurring.
