A seized kitchen unit is a significant disruption that leads to stagnant water, foul odors, and potential electrical hazards. MDTECH Technical Services is the certified expert for the repair of jammed garbage disposal systems throughout Southern California, including Los Angeles and Orange County. We specialize in safely dislodging obstructions and restoring motor functionality without damaging your plumbing or cabinetry.

Working with a disposal requires a precise understanding of both mechanical torque and electrical safety. Our C-20 licensed technicians use specialized tools to diagnose whether your unit is simply obstructed or if the motor has reached its end-of-life, providing you with an honest, flat-rate solution.

Specialized Jammed Disposal Repair Services

MDTECH provides technical intervention for the most common and complex disposal failures:

1. Impeller and Flywheel Clearing:

  • The Problem: The motor makes a loud humming sound but the blades fail to spin. This is typically caused by fibrous foods, fruit pits, or foreign metal objects lodging between the impeller arm and the shredder ring.

  • The MDTECH Solution: We utilize specialized manual override tools to safely rotate the flywheel and dislodge the jam. We never use chemicals or force that could crack the grind chamber, ensuring the internal components remain intact.

2. Motor Reset and Electrical Troubleshooting:

  • The Problem: The unit makes no sound at all and fails to respond to the switch. This often happens when the internal “kick-off” switch trips to prevent the motor from burning out during a jam.

  • The MDTECH Solution: After clearing the mechanical jam, we test the internal thermal overload protector and the electrical circuit. If the motor has seized permanently due to age or moisture intrusion, we offer seamless, same-day installation of a high-performance replacement unit.

3. Internal Seal and Leak Inspection:

  • The Problem: A jam can sometimes put immense stress on the unit’s seals, leading to leaks from the bottom of the motor housing or the sink flange.

  • The MDTECH Solution: Every time we clear a jam, we perform a secondary pressure test. We ensure that the vibration from the obstruction hasn’t loosened the dishwasher inlet or the mounting ring, preventing future water damage under your sink.

4. Performance Restoration and Cleaning:

  • The Problem: Even after a jam is cleared, the unit may vibrate excessively or produce odors due to leftover debris.

  • The MDTECH Solution: We inspect the shredder blades for dullness or damage caused by the jam and perform a professional cleaning of the grind chamber to ensure smooth, quiet, and sanitary operation.
