unclogging a drain...

[ladymacbeth]

just stick a broom handle in it and push it around in circles.. thats what i do when my junk gets jammed.. works like a charm

I was going to try a fork...

Dammit people, I'm my garbage disposal riot gear...industrial rubber gloves, ripped guns and roses shirt, backwards baseball hat...give me something I can use here before the jw's knock on my door and I have to answer it like this.

On the bottom of the motor you will find a slot that will accept a allen key. Insert the allen key in the hole and then spin the allen key around, this will turn the blades inside the unit. If this works, then drop a few ice cubes in there and turn the unit on. DON'T FORGET TO TAKE THE ALLEN KEY OUT BEFORE TURNING ON THE UNIT. Some times the ice cubes will help brake up the crap stuck in there. Good luck

I have an allen wrench, but don't see where to put it...at all...is it usually at the top, fat part of the machine?

Under the sink, you will have to lie down on your back and look on the bottom of the motor.

I live in an efficiency, and I'm lucky I can fit my hand in the space under the sink...but I got some draino, and I'm going to try this first: I broke the circuit to the disposal, and I have a flashlight, so if I see what's in there once I drain-o it, i'll grab it. if the circuit is broken, i'm safe, right?

Did you unplug it or shut it off at the circuit breaker? Either way you will be fine
