{A motor that's overheating, tripping the reset repeatedly, or making grinding noises gets diagnosed for repair versus replacement.|We test motor function and electrical connections together, since either can cause similar symptoms.}
When a unit is beyond repair, we install a properly sized replacement matched to your sink and usage needs.
Water pooling under the sink often traces to a worn seal or gasket in the disposal, repaired or the unit resealed.
