FAQs
Which garbage disposal brands do you repair with factory-approved parts in Fayetteville?
We keep an extensive inventory of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for all major disposal brands sold in Northwest Arkansas, including InSinkErator, Moen, Waste King, GE, KitchenAid, and Whirlpool. Using only factory-approved blades, seals, splash guards, motors, and electrical components ensures that the repaired unit performs exactly as designed, matches factory specifications, and keeps any remaining manufacturer warranty intact.
How can I tell whether my garbage disposal needs repair or full replacement?
In most cases a disposal that is under 8–10 years old can be economically repaired, especially when factory parts are available. Signs that point to repair include a hum without grinding, water leaking from the bottom, slow draining, frequent tripped reset buttons, or a persistent burning odor. Units with cracked housings, severe internal corrosion, or obsolete motors are better candidates for replacement. Our technician will perform a free on-site inspection in Fayetteville and quote both repair and replacement so you can make an informed decision.
Do you offer same-day service for jammed or non-working disposals in Fayetteville?
Yes. Because we stock the most commonly requested factory parts on our service trucks, we can resolve the majority of jams, clogs, and electrical faults the same day you call—usually within a two-hour arrival window anywhere in Fayetteville, Farmington, Johnson, or nearby communities. If a specialty part is required, we can overnight it from the manufacturer and return to install it at no extra trip charge.
Why are factory-approved parts important; can’t generic parts work just as well?
Generic or off-brand components often differ slightly in size, material hardness, or electrical tolerance, which can create vibration, premature wear, or even safety hazards. Factory-approved parts are engineered for an exact fit, tested for food-grade safety, and certified to UL or CSA standards. They preserve your unit’s UL listing and any active manufacturer warranty, and they typically extend the life of the appliance by 30-40 percent compared to generic substitutes.
What does a typical garbage disposal repair cost?
Most repairs we perform in Fayetteville range between $125 and $275, which includes trip charge, diagnostic, labor, and common OEM parts such as gaskets or swivel impellers. Motor or control board replacements run higher—usually $250 to $425—but are still less than half the cost of installing a new mid-range disposal. You’ll receive an upfront written estimate before any work begins, and we stand behind repairs with a one-year parts and labor warranty.
How can I prevent future garbage disposal problems?
1) Run cold water for at least 15 seconds before and after grinding. 2) Feed food waste slowly; avoid dumping large loads all at once. 3) Never grind fibrous items like celery, corn husks, or onion skins, which can wrap around the impellers. 4) Pour a cup of ice cubes and a tablespoon of rock salt into the unit monthly to scour the grinding chamber. 5) Keep fats, oils, and grease out of the drain to reduce buildup. 6) Press the reset button rather than continuously cycling power if the motor stalls. Following these steps can add years of trouble-free operation to your disposal.
