How To: Maintain and troubleshoot your home garbage disposal

In this video tutorial from RenaissanceRentals you will learn how to maintain and troubleshoot your home garbage disposal. First thing to do is to keep the water running during garbage disposal. Ensure that the leftovers are cut into small pieces and you put only small quantities for disposal at a time. Things like plastics, glass pieces, rocks and food items like egg shells, starchy foods like pasta or rice should not be put into the garbage disposal system. If you follow these simple tips, you will not have any problem with garbage disposal. If you do have a problem, under the kitchen cabinet, there is the garbage disposal housing. Underneath the housing, there is a red re-set button. Press it and in most cases that should solve your problem. For more tips on trouble-shooting, watch the video.
