Why is my dishwasher not draining water?
It is quite common for a dishwasher to not drain because of a clog – either with the drain hose or the air gap (if the unit has one). Drain hose clogs commonly occur where the hose is attached to the main household drain line, or where the hose connects with the garbage disposer.
Why isn’t my garbage disposal turning?
Garbage disposals are very useful appliances, but they do jam
sometimes. Running them without water, disposing certain food substances such as cornhusks and potato peels, or allowing silverware to get inside can all cause problems. If your garbage disposal is turned on but not spinning, you can attempt to repair the jam or call Marines Service Co. to fix the problem. It’s not worth losing a finger over!
Why isn’t my garbage disposal turning on?
If your garbage disposal just won’t turn at all, then it’s very likely that the disposal has lost power. Your unit may have blown a circuit, or it could be unplugged. First, check the plug for your garbage disposal to ensure that it’s secure. Next, locate the reset button on the underside of the unit, and
push it. If it is still not working, call Marines Plumbing to troubleshoot the issue.
