My disposal is humming, and it turns freely with the hex wrech, but the blades aren't moving when I turn the switch on. The reset button has not popped out either. No sure what to do.

Thank you very much. The world needs more people like you.

@yalun i forced it with the same stick i was using turning it clockwise and counter-clockwise until it loosened up. it's working now.

@doruthie1 Hi, I have the exact same problem as yours, have you solved your problem? :(

WOW!!! I had unplugged my garbage disposal because it stopped working. I was getting ready to replace it and its barely 3 years old. I never knew that there was a reset button on there at all (duh)! Oowwee, thank you!!!!! : )

Thank you Thank you Thank you! You are such a life saver!

thanks for the post. I performed the fix and my wife absolutely loves me for it. thought I had to buy a new disposal - turns out, a penny was jamming it up. keep up the great work!

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. Instead of having to wait on my husband to repair this or paying a repairman nearly what I would pay for a brand new disposal, I decided to try your advice. That was one of the easiest things I've ever tried. Plus, I get to brag to my husband that I fixed it without his help. Or I could just take the money that I would have paid to a repairman and buy some new shoes ;-)

If you unit just hums maybe it would be a good idea to turn the power off before the motor burns out. Ya think?

my garburator (mainline 1900) does not have a hole to use the wrench. it's humming but not working. i tried using a stick to turn it inside but no luck. what else should i do?

wow. That video was awesome, it totally works now!!

best advice ever you damn genius

Hi! I don't find a hole at the bottom of my disposal, it is a GE model, but instead there's a metal plate underneath it. Could you please instruct me of how to free the blades that're stucked? Thx!

thanks you saved me from the sight of a plummers crack

Thank You... You Tube pays for itself. It was just the switch, I figured since I didn't hear anything running it was a motor or something. I wish when we called a plumber they would just tell us to reset the switch or loosen up the disposal. Instead they come out and act like they are working and bring in a whole bunch of tools while they take the whole thing apart.... LOL

big thanks my disposal had been broken for a long time now it's running good...took less than 5 min!

Thank You

Insinkerators are fine but when they give problems they can break your heart. Why not us a compost bin instead of pumping all this stuff down the drain. At least you will get another use of out all your recycled veg. You will have compost for next season.
