A garbage disposal typically lasts 8 to 15 years depending on usage and model quality. Batch-feed models tend to last longer due to less frequent use. Signs of end-of-life include frequent jams, persistent odors despite cleaning, water leaking from the unit body, and the motor humming but not spinning.
