- The unit is smoking, smells of burning or trips the breaker
- Wet cabinet boards are swelling or the floor under the sink is soaked
- The kitchen sink is full and will not drain at all

What is not part of garbage disposal repair, installation & replacement
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Once a kitchen job reaches $1,000 in labor and materials, such as a rewire alongside the swap, a licensed contractor does it and you are told before booking.
- New circuits, a new switch location or rewiring the kitchen: that is a licensed electrician.
- Main sewer line clogs, cracked drain pipes inside the wall and re-piping: that is a licensed plumber.
- Replacing the sink, cabinet or countertop. Those belong to other trades or a remodel contractor.
- Dishwasher repair and replacement, which has its own service on NorTech.

Before you book garbage disposal repair, installation & replacement
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Try the hex key and the reset button first
Turn off the switch and unplug the unit or turn off its breaker. Insert a hex key in the bottom center and work it back and forth, then press the red reset button.
Photograph the label and the connections
Take a picture of the label on the disposal, the wiring or power cord, the dishwasher hose and the pipes below. The pro can then bring the right mounting kit and parts.
Never put your hand in the disposal
Even when it is off, keep your hand out of the chamber. Use tongs or pliers to take out a spoon or bottle cap, and let the pro handle anything stuck.
Empty the cabinet and check for water
Clear the cabinet and wipe it dry. Look at the shelf for stains, swelling or mold.
Check how the disposal is powered
See whether it plugs into an outlet under the sink or is wired directly. A plug makes a swap simple, and a hardwired unit needs the pro to disconnect the power first.
Choose a model that fits your use
Think about how much you put through it, how much noise bothers you and how much room you have. Bring the model name to the pro if you want a specific unit.
