Wastemaid Specialists (Food Waste Disposals Only)
If your Wastemaid unit is humming, jammed, leaking, not powering, tripping electrics, or draining poorly, we’ll diagnose the cause, confirm the cost, and complete a reliable repair with minimal disruption.
If the Disposal Is Jammed, Humming or Not Draining
Switch off power at the wall. Do not reach inside the unit. Avoid repeated switching as this can overheat the motor. If your model has a reset button, press it once only after power-off and basic checks. If it still will not run properly, book an engineer to prevent further damage.
Common Wastemaid Faults We Repair
Jammed / Humming
Foreign objects, fibrous waste, or internal restriction causing the motor to hum without grinding.
Leaks
Seal, flange, connector or discharge leaks checked and repaired with tidy under-sink workmanship.
Poor Drainage
Blockages in trapwork, dishwasher spigot issues, outlet restrictions and backflow investigated.
Trips / No Power
Electrical faults, wiring, overload protection, switches and safe isolation checks.
Loud/Unusual Noise
Grinding, rattling or vibration traced to internal obstructions or mounting issues.
Replacement Advice
Where repair is not cost-effective, we provide clear replacement options and tidy installation.
