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

A humming garbage disposal usually means the unit is jammed or failing. Run plenty of cold water and stop using the disposal if the hum continues. Avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners. If the issue persists, have a licensed plumber inspect it. We handle garbage disposal installation and repair with on-site diagnosis, free estimates, and 24/7 emergency service in Elkhart and South Bend. Same-day solutions are often available.
