Starchy foods like potatoes can turn into a thick paste. Bones, fruit pits, and eggshells are also no-no&#8217;s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overloading the disposal &#8211; Don&#8217;t put large amounts of food waste down the drain at one time. Feeding more than the disposal can handle in one sitting will overwhelm the motor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of water flow &#8211; Running the disposal without enough water doesn&#8217;t flush the waste through. Always run cold water when using the disposal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drain pipe issues &#8211; A partial blockage farther down the pipes can back up waste and cause the disposal to clog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foreign objects &#8211; Silverware, bottle caps, scrub pads and other items can damage blades and lead to jams. Run only food waste into the disposal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/techrene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1743\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Unclog_a_Garbage_Disposal\"><\/span><strong>How to Unclog a Garbage Disposal<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Try these simple DIY methods to clear clogs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Turn_off_the_power_at_the_breaker\"><\/span>1. <strong>Turn off the power at the breaker<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Safety first!

Avoid hard or fibrous foods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run water before and after use &#8211; This flushes food particles down the drain. Let water run for 30 seconds after grinding is finished.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid grease &#8211; Oil and greasy foods will solidify and coat the insides of the disposal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use ice to clean &#8211; Grinding ice cubes every couple weeks will scour the inside and sharpen blades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freshen with citrus &#8211; Grind citrus peels to deodorize and keep drains fresh smelling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check for foreign objects &#8211; Visually inspect the drain opening before turning on the disposal to make sure no silverware or other items have fallen in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean with baking soda &#8211; Pour 1\u20442 cup of baking soda down the drain once a month and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Flush with water in the morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A little bit of prevention will keep your garbage disposal clog-free for years. But even the best-maintained units can fail occasionally.
