Everbilt Stuck or Broken Impeller Lug

Garbage disposal makes a clicking or clunking sound once per revolution

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Impeller lug jammed with debris, Bent impeller arm, Broken impeller rivet on Everbilt plate, Foreign object trapped under lug

Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the disposal.

Inspect impellers: Remove the splash guard and use a flashlight to observe the two impeller lugs on the grinding plate.
Free stuck lug: Use a screwdriver to gently move each lug. If one is stuck, clear any debris beneath it with tongs.
Rotate shaft: Use the bottom hex socket to rotate the plate and listen/feel for clunks.
If lug is loose or broken: The impeller assembly is not replaceable separately on Everbilt units. Replace the disposal.
