A: If your disposal does nothing when you flip the switch, the most common causes are a tripped reset button (the red button on the bottom of the unit), a tripped breaker, a stuck impeller, or a burnt-out motor. For Town N Country homeowners, start by pressing the reset button. If it hums without spinning, something is jammed and the motor will burn out if you keep trying. We will diagnose and fix or replace on the spot, usually $279 to $450.

A: If your disposal is less than 5 years old and the jam is mechanical, repair usually makes sense.

A: No, not for a straight like-for-like swap on an existing GFCI outlet. A permit is required only if we add a new dedicated circuit from the panel or upgrade the outlet, which is rare on Town N Country homes built after 1995 because the GFCI is typically already in place. We always pull required permits at no upcharge when needed.

A: Possibly, but more likely the dishwasher branch line. A correctly installed dishwasher should have a high-loop above the underside of the countertop or an air-gap fitting on top of the sink.
