Common Refrigerator Problems in Alexandria
Many Alexandria customers call us because of one of these five common Garbage disposal problems. You may already see one of them in your home right now.
If your disposal makes a humming sound when you turn it on but the blades do not move, it is likely jammed. This is a common problem that can often be resolved without replacing the unit. Our technicians can safely clear the jam and restore normal operation.
Food waste, a small object, or buildup inside the unit can cause the blades to lock up. Forcing the unit to run when it is jammed can cause motor damage. We can remove the blockage safely and check for any wear on internal parts.
Leaks can come from the sink flange, the dishwasher connection, or the drain line. A small leak under the sink can cause damage to cabinets and flooring over time. We will find where the leak is coming from and fix it properly.
If water is draining slowly from your sink, the disposal may be contributing to a blockage. This can happen when food waste builds up inside the unit or in the connected drain line. We can clear the obstruction and check that the disposal is working as it should.
If pressing the switch or the reset button produces no response, there may be an electrical issue, a blown fuse, or a problem with the motor. Our team can safely check the unit and let you know the best option for repair or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Refrigerator Repair in Alexandria, VA
This usually means the disposal is jammed. The motor is running but the blades cannot move. Avoid forcing it to run, as this can damage the motor. A technician can safely clear the jam.
There is a small reset button on the bottom of the unit. Press it once and then try running the disposal again. If it trips repeatedly, there may be an underlying issue that needs professional attention.
Leaks typically come from the sink flange, the dishwasher connection, or a drain line fitting. The location of the leak helps determine the right repair.
No. Items like grease, fibrous vegetables, bones, coffee grounds, and pasta can cause jams or buildup. Sticking to soft food scraps helps keep the disposal running smoothly.
Odors usually come from food residue buildup inside the unit. Regular cleaning with cold water and mild soap can help. If the smell persists, there may be a more significant buildup that needs clearing.
For minor issues like jams or leaks, repair is usually the most practical option. If the motor has failed or the unit is older and has had repeated problems, replacement may be more cost-effective. We give you an honest assessment.
A tripped reset button, a wiring issue, or a failed motor are common causes. We can diagnose the problem and recommend the best solution.
