Garbage disposal runs but does not grind food effectively; food particles remain large and are not flushed away.

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting the chamber.

• Inspect grinding surfaces: Use a flashlight to examine the shredder ring and impeller lugs. If they appear smooth and rounded, grinding efficiency is reduced.
• Improve usage habits: Run a strong stream of cold water, feed small amounts of food at a time, and avoid fibrous or starchy materials.
• Clean buildup: Grind a tray of ice cubes with a small amount of rock salt to help remove scale and residue from the ring.
• Consider replacement: If performance remains poor and components are visibly worn, replace the Reginox disposal with a new unit.
