What to do if my GE DISPOSALL GFC530N doesn't start?
- D
  Donna WilsonAug 9, 2025
  First, with the splash guard removed, check if the turntable moves freely using a broom handle. If it does, replace the splash guard and check the red reset button, located opposite the discharge elbow near the bottom of the disposer, to see if it has been tripped. Push the button in until it clicks and remains depressed. If the reset button hasn't tripped, check for shorted or broken wires connected to the disposer, and inspect the electrical power switch, fuse box, or circuit breaker. If wiring and electrical components are intact, the unit may have internal problems requiring service or replacement.

  To address loud noises (other than those during grinding of bones and fruit pits) in your GE Garbage Disposal, remove the splash guard and use long-handled tongs to remove any foreign objects. Then, replace the splash guard.

What to do if GE DISPOSALL GFC530N turntable cannot rotate?
- Z
  Zachary StewartAug 25, 2025
  If the turntable doesn't turn freely, check for any object lodged between the turntable and the grinding ring. Dislodge the object by moving the turntable with a broom handle and then remove it. If no foreign object is present, there may be internal problems.

Why is my GE DISPOSALL GFC530N Garbage Disposal leaking?
- M
  Mr. Joseph Wright MDSep 1, 2025
  If the leak is at the top, it could be due to improper seating of the sink flange (gasket choice, putty, or tightening), the support ring not being tightened properly, or a defective cushion mount. If the leak is at the discharge elbow, it may be caused by improper tightening of the elbow flange screws.
