Batch Feed Disposal Repair

Repairing Batch Feed Disposals

A batch feed garbage disposal activates when a stopper or cover is placed in the drain opening and turned, rather than being controlled by a wall switch. The stopper switch mechanism engages the motor only while the stopper is seated, which keeps hands and utensils away from the spinning flywheel and grind chamber and makes batch feed units a common choice in households with young children. Waste is loaded in batches rather than fed continuously, so the flywheel processes smaller amounts of material per cycle, though jams and worn flywheel blades still occur when a foreign object slips in before the stopper is seated. Common complaints on batch feed models include the disposal not turning on, a stuck or worn stopper switch mechanism, and unusual noise during operation.
