Oh my god… I worked so hard on my garbage disposal, took 5 hours out of my day and I’m a broke college students so a plumber wasn’t an option. Finally stumbled across your video and it was sooo easy and works perfectly. Thank you so much!!!!

Tracy says:

After HOURS of trying to fix my disposal from the bottom of the equipment with an Allen wrench (from other videos), I found your video and I fixed it in under 5 minutes!!! Thank you, Kind Sir!!!🙌🏾

What a pleasure! Worked almost right away. I had thoroughly cleaned out the inside of the disposal – rubber band, spones, egg shells..my bad😵. And then used your method. Thanks, never too old to learn new tricks–73 year old.

Well, the witch’s brew method worked for one cycle. Let it run for a solid two minutes. Motor got super hot so I turned it off. Nothing restarted. Dead. Not hum. No popped breaker. No popped reset button. Nada! I guess it’s time for a new one. Crappy thing is it’s hardlined power supply might be over my head for a DIY. :/ thx for the hope though!

Tina Ward says:

Hi, Roger, I tried the plunger handle and it will spin but it still will not work. I checked the reset button. I unplugged it and plugged it back in again. I stuck the Allen wrench into the bottom of it and spun it around but still nothing. It did seem to hum louder than it did when I spun it around with the Allen wrench but that still didn't make it work again. It seems like it wants to work but it won't. I was literally using it one minute and the next minute it just quit on me? Is there anything that I can do? I felt inside and didn't feel anything hanging it up. It's empty.
