How can I clean and troubleshoot minor garbage disposal issues?

Garbage disposals are low-maintenance appliances. Frequent use can help remove excess food scraps that accumulate over time. Here are a few steps to clean your disposal:

  1. Turn off the garbage disposal.
  2. Remove the sink baffle, clean the underside, and place it back in the sinkhole.
  3. Turn on the disposal and run a medium stream of cold water.
  4. Place ice cubes mixed with a cleaning solution into the disposal to freshen up the smell.

For troubleshooting minor issues:

  • Reset the garbage disposal.
  • Check for clogs.
  • Ensure the unit is plugged in and receiving power.
