How Garbage Disposals Work

A garbage disposal is a motorized small appliance. The motor turns a flywheel to which rotating blades are loosely attached. Food waste within the chamber is repeatedly hit and cut by these rotating blades , grinding it into small particles that can be flushed through the drain pipe and into the septic system. Sometimes various objects can get stuck and cause the rotating blades to get jammed. that when your Portland Garbage Disposal ceases to function.
