In this video, DIYNate shows three great fixes for handling a clogged kitchen sink that has a garbage disposal attached. Your issue could be that your disposal is not working and the blades are stuck, or it could be a more serious stoppage, so this quick video gives you how to approach three of the most common issues, before going further and needing to call a plumber. Hopefully, this quick video saves you some time and money, and also builds your "handy confidence" with a pretty easy repair.
Of course, the first step is to see if you have a foreign object (fork, large piece of debris) clogging or jamming the disposer. If you can remove it from the top side, that is pretty straight forward. Of course, be very careful if using your hands and do not turn it on while trying to extract the object. Be careful warning and disclaimer!
Three steps are outlined as follows:
1. Test the turning rotors of the garbage disposal by using a 1/4 inch allen wrench / hex key (or Jam Buster) from the bottom side. Sometimes there is a reset button at the bottom that can help to retrigger as well.
2. CAREFULLY, use a plunger (typically used for toilets) to create some pressure to force the debris that is in the pipes coming out of the disposer through. Note, there are several cautions with this approach including not using too much pressure / force due to "under-sink" style sinks typically being mounted to the countertop. Other issues can be caused from this approach with too much pressure including creating a separation between the sink and disposer or even causing fittings to fatigue or give out (less likely but still, just be very careful) - again, warning and disclaimer.
3. If those two approaches fail, you will likely need to take apart one or multiple of the fittings coming from the garbage disposal to see where the clog is occurring. It is always good to have a pan or bucket underneath to catch the water / debris that will come out. This approach involves separating the pipes and then clearing them out (depending on your setup) and putting them back together and testing for leaks. This video doesn't go into too much detail on that, but the general concept / idea are discussed.
If you are looking for other solutions, if you have a shop vac, that can also be a handy way to extract the water and even get some of the debris to come out from the top side.
Using the 1/4" allen wrench can also be really helpful for unsticking twisted items like washcloths or other materials that may have wrapped around the garbage disposal blades.
DIYNate's model of garbage disposal is a Badger, and this also works on other types / models, such as InSinkErator, etc.
This fix is a common one that many people have to encounter and often will call a handyman or plumber to resolve, so ideally, you will be able to clear your jam or stoppage and save some time, money, and aggravation!

My question is, as you begin to demonstrate the hex key solution in the video, if my garbage disposal appears to be functioning okay, that is to say it's rotating, making its usual noise, and seems like it is trying to pull the water through, but none is draining away, would that indicate that the clog lies in the plumbing past the garbage disposal, and not in the garbage disposal itself? When the garbage disposal is clogged is the mechanism jammed, and the motor sounds like it is struggling to rotate the device, or what does a clogged garbage disposal sound? What are the indicators that the clog exists within the garbage disposal?
Just tried the plunger method as my husband didn't want me messing with anything down below and screwing it up worse (although I think with your guidance I would've been fine 😉). Tried the plunger method, about 4 tries since I was being extra careful like you explained, and it cleared it right up! All while my husband was sitting on the couch reading what to do! I said, "already fixed it!" Thanks to you!!!

HI Nate - I'm still working on it. You already saved me some grief because I was eyeing the disposal and how to take the whole thing down. I remember installing this new one a while back and it was heavy as concrete, quite hard to hold in place and tighten alone. I'm reasonably sure I have a clog inside the disposal, probably in the teeth that grind stuff up. The motor sounds locked up and is not turning like it should sound. I'm taking a break at the moment as I am partially handicapped. So I am resting and reading KZread. Your post was the first one I found and it looks like it covers all the bases. i just need to put it "to work." I will get back to you, hopefully with good news in a while.

I had tried using a toilet plunger before watching your video but was unsuccessful and thought maybe I should use a sink plunger (which I didn't have) instead of a toilet plunger. I was concerned about damaging my disposal. I made an appointment with a plumber but would have to wait until Monday and wouldn't have a working sink all weekend. After watching your video, I decided to try again with the toilet plunger. This time I got on a ladder as I'm short and not very strong. Being above the sink gave me the leverage I needed and I was able to unclog my drain quickly. I had a working sink on a Friday night and saved myself a plumber bill and not having the use of my sink all weekend. Thank you!

Had a very slow drain and after adding liquid plumber, waiting for 30 minutes and running hot water it actually was worse with complete standing water. I saw your video and the step with the plunger cleared it right up. Thank you. Any thoughts on why the liquid plumber did work but the plunger immediately did?
@DIYNate

Hello Mario - tough to say on Liquid Plumber for sure, but think of it as a solvent (has to take time to dissolve whatever is down there). If there was a thick block, it may have been trying to dissolve a large amount of stuff which could be a slow process. By comparison, the plunger method uses pressure from the top and pushes water against the blockage to force that stuff past the stopped up area. So it likely released the large blockage and got it past the area where things got clogged. That is my best assessment and glad to hear it worked out for you! Thanks for the comment! - DIYNate
Thank you! It worked but I used detergent, hot water and salt before the plunger approach.

Love hearing that the plunger worked for you, Roy - thanks for letting me know! - DIYNate
Thank you for the tip. Had to plunge several times as it would not clear. It came up the other sink. Finally ran disposal and plunged the other side and with a prayer or two and it was clear. Awesome.

Glad to hear the plunger got you clear, Debra! Sometimes the other side of the sink will let some air / water out so stopping that side up can help with the compression. Sounds like you got it solved and glad you are back up and running. Thanks for letting me know! Best, DIYNate
You’re amazing man. Thank you so much. My blades were jammed and got it to spin freely with the allen tool. Thanks a million🙏🏼💪🏽

Thanks for posting this video! I had no idea about using the Allen wrench. I’ve been annoyed with my clogged sink and “broken” garbage disposal for a month now. If only I had known how EASY it was to fix it!
