Customer Experiences

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid value with newer design disposal Just installed the GX50 1/2 horse disposal. So far, works like a champ. Compact and quite.
Date published: 2019-07-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet I bought this disposal from Moen because I have a kitchen faucet and bath faucet from them, and they really stand behind the products. Every time I have had a problem, they send parts or do what ever is necessary to fix the situation. The warranty on this is 4 years which is much longer than other 1/2 HP disposals. It seems more quiet that the old disposal and it looks like a nice machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful and great feature and it is a MOEN. I bought the product yesterday and installed it the same day and it works great.
Date published: 2019-07-01
Rated 3 out of 5 by from So far, so good. I bought it in January 2019 based on reviews I read online and a great sale price. Contrary to reviews, it is not that quiet but it is comparable to the previous InSinkErator and Kenmore models I have owned. At this price point you get what you pay for and I'm OK with that. Doesn't get heavy use. Has a good warranty.

I just installed one and when you first turn it on with nothing in it it makes a initial clicking noise when starting up is this normal?

Asked by: jim123
Hello jim123 and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The clicking noise that you are referring to are the impellers positioning on the turntable each time you turn the disposal on. Yes, this is completely normal for Moen’s GX Series 1/2 horsepower garbage disposal.

When I turn on my disposal, it just hums

Asked by: Richardsamson
Hello Richardsamson. From your description it sounds like the product may be jammed. To unjam the unit you first need to shut off its power. Depending on your model and wiring configuration you can unplug the power cord from the wall or turn the breaker box switch to the off position. Next, remove the stopper and/or splashguard. Check to see if the turntable will rotate freely by using a wooden broom or mop handle. Place the handle down the disposer and use one of the two impellers to put force on the turntable. Keep in mind it is not the impellers that need to be moving freely, you are just using the impellers to put force onto the turntable. If the turntable rotates freely, replace splashguard and check the reset button to see if it has been tripped. Push the button in until it clicks and remains depressed. If reset button has not been tripped, check for a short or broken wire connection to the disposer, electrical power switch, fuse box, or circuit breaker. If the wiring and electrical components are intact, the unit may have internal problems that require service or replacement. Let us know if you need more assistance with this. 1-800-BUY-MOEN.
