how can i fix my garbage disposal?

[mylife]

I had a lb of 3 week old rotting meat in my refrigerator so i tossed it in the sink to flush it down the disposal. After flipping the switch I heard the GD make a noise like it wsa about to start then it just stopped.

I'm guessing the motor went out? Anyone know how to fix this?



I gotta do something about that meat, it smells awful.

I dunno but this reminds me, At Christmas we were at my moms friends house about to sit down for Christmas dinner and I was peeling potatoes trying to help out. No one told me you weren't supposed to put potato peels down the garbage disposal.

Thing broke and water leaked all over the kitches for like two hours.





Good luck with that meat though.

check your GFI (ground fault interrupt)

With most newer model disposals you have a bent allen wrench that comes with it. Sometimes it is taped to the side of the unit by the installer. If you can find it go to the bottom of the unit under your sink. Feel or look around for the hole that the allen wrench fits in and turn it back and forth. It will be hard at first but will loosen up. This is quite common and easily fixed. Very rare that a motor will freeze up on one that is not ancient.

Paul, you be serious ? because I do this all the time. Albiet I also throw in shaved pubic hair, used condoms and old needles .. but I would imagine everyone does that too.

That's the hard way that he told you about. Next time just turn on the switch, and then reach down in there and wiggle the blades until they free up.

Ergonomic and time saving, I like your style.

Although when I myself am in a big hurry, I just use the nearest vacuum for quick fecal absorption. Ramp it up to its maximum level and just let the air do its thing. I call it crapposuction, after around 60 seconds my intestinal track is clean as a fresh jimmy hat.

LOL.

If that you cant fit your hand, use your penis.

On some there is a reset switch under the unit. Check for that, also if it locked up, you can take a broom handle and work it clockwise and counter clockwise to free it up.

It really depends on what I was eating.

The high fiber blends are best for a quick refreshing clean, but the added viscosity of the diarrhea compilations also make for a interesting, distinct feel. In the case of additional purification I just wrap some paper towel around a hanger and ram it up and down for awhile, the extra blood means I’m doing a good job.

on a related note..I've been told that egg shells are good for a disposal..is this true?..I imagine the shells crumble pretty good yet they have some coarseness which would help remove other accumulated residue
