Disposal is humming but not spinning

[markstanco 12574]

Good voltage, checked it. Also, checked out a few YT videos and did the broomstick and spin it and also put a 1/4” Allen wrench in there and spun it.

 

According to the internet the motor is screwed. Just checking to see if I am missing anything?

Best thing to do is to stick your hand down there

Your wife said put my dick in there the cut it in have because that would make it twice as big as yours.

But that would hurt.

Just to cover all the bases, is there a reset button on the bottom...and if so, did you...push it?

 

[edit] Per below, please disregard.  Leaving for the next dude that searches though, just in case.

Follow this video, this is the real answer. Find the allen-wrench shaped socket on the motor and have at it.

Step 1. Kill the power.
Step 2. Take the damn thing out and replace it with a drain.

Profit.

whatever it takes

[Bevo&Pevo 5131]

If it hums it has power.  Kill the breaker/or pull the plug whichever applies in your case and check for motor continuity.    If there is continuity it is jammed.

It’s probably jammed with a plastic lid or bottle cap. This tool comes in handy for figuring stuff out. $16

We had to replace ours this summer after the motor burned out. Went thru all those same steps. Fortunately replacement won't be too hard. Good luck.

Agree. If you can remove and replace a cracked manifold on a 305 Chevy small block V8, then a garbage disposal is a piece of cake.

 

 

No really, it's pretty easy. I replaced one at the old house and it took me about 30 minutes.

You need to cut the body parts into smaller pieces.
