Miele General Mechanical Wear and Acoustic Insulation Degradation

Disposal is excessively loud compared to when it was new, even with no load.

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

Worn bearings, Loose internal components, Deteriorated sound insulation, Loose mounting hardware

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before inspection.

Check mounting and hardware: Tighten mounting ring screws and any external fasteners.
Inspect for contact: Ensure the disposal body is not touching cabinet walls or rigid pipes that can transmit noise.
Internal wear: If noise remains high with an empty chamber and secure mounting, internal wear is likely. Consider replacement, especially on older units.
