Quick Fix vs. Call NorTech
| Issue | Quick Fix (Try This First) | Call NorTech When… |
|---|---|---|
| Disposal won’t turn on | Check the plug, press the reset button, or check your breaker. | Reset doesn’t work, breaker keeps tripping, or no power at all. |
| Disposal hums but doesn’t spin | Turn off power, use an Allen wrench in the bottom slot to manually free stuck blades. | Blades remain jammed or the motor is burnt out. |
| Slow draining or clog | Run cold water, avoid overloading, and try a plunger or safe cleaning (baking soda + vinegar). | Clog keeps coming back, water backs up, or multiple drains are affected. |
| Bad smells | Clean with ice cubes, baking soda, vinegar, or citrus peels. | Odor persists or there’s mold/leak damage in the unit. |
| Leaks under sink | Check for loose connections or worn gaskets. Tighten where possible. | Leak is from the disposal body (crack) or persists after tightening. |
| Unusual noises | Check for foreign objects (spoons, bones, etc.) and remove safely. | Noise continues, blades are damaged, or motor sounds rough. |
Pro Tip: If in doubt, don’t risk electrical or water damage—let NorTech’s experts handle it safely.
