What should I do if my garbage disposal is humming but not working?

If your garbage disposal hums but won’t work, stop using it and don’t put more food down the drain. Schedule a service visit so a licensed Summers technician can inspect, repair, or replace the unit as needed. We handle installation, maintenance, and repairs for garbage disposals, with emergency service available and free estimates. For prevention, run cold water with small scraps only. Keep grease, starches, fibrous veggies, bones, and coffee grounds out. We serve Peru, IN and nearby areas like Wabash and Logansport.

"They came out and installed a new water softener, shower valve, and toilet for us as well as removing an old garbage disposal, properly hooked up our dishwasher and installed an access panel for our shower and did an absolutely incredible job!" — Brandon R.
