![]() ![]() If you’re mechanically inclined, there is usually an Allen-key screw on the bottom of your disposal that you can use to turn the motor manually. Unplug your garbage disposal from its power source and see if you can turn the blades with a wooden spoon or long screwdriver. If your garbage disposal is humming but not turning, debris in the blades can stop the motor from rotating. ![]() There are several standard procedures for repairing a problematic garbage disposal, but they don’t always work, and eventually, your unit will need to be replaced. If you’ve never had a broken-down garbage disposal, you’re missing out on a rite of passage every homeowner needs to face at least once. The biggest problem with garbage disposals is that they are prone to improper use and breakdowns due to that use. Sounds almost medieval, doesn’t it? You Are Your Garbage Disposal’s Worst Enemy Imagine your family finishing a large meal and having to scrape all traces of food from every plate into a trash bag (horrors!) and then taking that bag outside to store it in a can for the local raccoons, cats, and other wildlife in the yard to enjoy. They'll come in for a minute and slap a signed sticker on the water heater.Aside from indoor plumbing and air conditioning, our garbage disposals are simply one of the greatest conveniences of modern times. ![]() The town will set up a time for the inspection - most towns usually inspect twice a week. To the OP: I had to apply for the permit myself. We also had to bring the gas water heater vent pipe up to code apparently vent pipes are bigger now. ![]() Moral of the story, we had to rush to get a permit and have it inspected by the town few weeks before we closed. My buddy, who's an HVAC contractor, installed the hot water heater in 2013 and told me at the time that I would need to get it permitted if we ever sell the house. That's what I thought until we decided to sell our house in Wyckoff back in 2015 and our buyer's inspector caught it. Even if you needed a permit and didn't get one, it's highly unlikely anyone would ever find out. If you're just replacing an existing water heater with no changes to plumbing or gas/electric then you probably don't need a permit. ![]()
