Our process
Cut the power
Safety first — the unit is isolated before anyone reaches into it.
Clear the jam
Most hums are a lodged object that can be freed without replacing anything.
Test the motor
If the motor is genuinely dead, we tell you and quote a replacement.
Check the connections
Leaks are often at the flange or discharge tube, not the unit itself.

My disposal hums but won't spin — is it dead?

Roughly 8 to 12 years with normal use. Beyond that, replacement usually costs less than repeated repairs.
