Hey I just wanted to thank you for helping me around my house my dad past away a little bit ago. leaving me “the man of the house.” As my mom calls me to help around the house so when things started to stop working around my house she started to ask me to help. Me being 11 didn’t know how to fix these things so I simply looked it up and then I found you on KZread.I know this might seem a little much for you just helping me fix a.......what ever it’s called but thank you for really making it easy for me when things break.😊

Really? Your mom calls you to come over and work on her sink at 11? Really? Not knocking you if its tru then props to you.

This is so clearly AND concisely explained. Only the essentials, no beating around the bush. Thanks!

omg thank you SO SO SO MUCH! I live alone and i really didnt want to have a stranger in my house to help me fix this. I got it back up and running in less than 5 minutes! Thank you thank you thank you!

I’m taking care of my sister that has cancer right now. I’m her bigger brother, but our disposal hasn’t been working for a week and we tried some stuff like CLR and whatnot but I was able to fix it myself. A piece of porcelain was stuck in the edge not letting it spin. I’m so proud of myself, I immediately called my dad and told him that I fixed my very first household problem by myself (humbly with your guidance of course) and he was proud. Thank you for this upload and thanks for making it easy and clear, quality video and audio. The reason I said all of that is because those video is important for people that need it. I can’t call a plumber right now. I need to be able to do shit myself and become a protector of my sister as a man now, not just as a brother. And this felt good man. One notch under my belt… And it felt so good I fuckin want more notches bro. This really changed my life in a small way that in 5 years from now, after the new things I learn, this video will have been the thing that started the enormous change the next years will bring. Just so crazy how life works man…

Thank you. I never did anything around the house myself. This was a gem. More than that you did not start from "who invented the disposal" and all that. I hate videos when what could be 4 minutes is stretched to 15. Thank you so very much.

Worked like a charm ! Our disposal was broke for a month 😅 . This two min repair blew our minds ! We are new to home rentals and you saved us a plumber bill ! God bless you !

Screaming. Thanks to your video I was able to fix my disposal that has been down for months. I checked each hole and found I had a chunk of glass stuck in one of the holes. Thank you!!!!!!!!

Your video helped me discover that it was simple rust/corrosion that had stopped my reallly old disposal from turning. Spraying Lime Away & letting it sit a few minutes while I rotated with an allen key got it turning. Once it powered on, I fed ice cubes, then ran water, which loosened even more corrosion I never realized was down there. Works like new. Will use ice cubes more often to clean & keep corrosion at bay. Many thanks from this handyman housewife!

As a single parent, I play all the roles. My mother taught me how to fix things, and I learned how to fix cars, and build thanks to my theater background, but we didn’t have a garbage disposal. I’m very glad I found your video to help me fix it all by myself 😊thank you 🙏

3 years later & you’re still saving people money!! Thank you so much!! I was so close to calling a plumber & spending at least $50 to diagnose it. This video is still very relevant & the old Allen wrench did the trick! I am so grateful!! 🤗

i’m a young adult and living alone and this legit saved me. my garbage disposal was backed up and now :’) ITS WORKING!! thank you

Thank you so much!! This was such a help! I found the culprit. A soda pop tap!! Saved me time and money in hiring someone to come out and fix it. I now have a working disposal, thanks to this video! THANK YOU!!

What this video did for my sink is one thing. What it did to boost my confidence is another. Thanks! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Thank you! Another notch under my belt! So easy and enjoyable to watch! I had it fixed in less than 5 minutes! 😊

The allen wrench hack worked! Thank you; you saved me the cost of a plumber!

Great troubleshooting advice. Went from easiest to most difficult fixes. Fixed my garbage disposal by using my allen wrench and manually rotating the motor and dislodged whatever was blocking it. Glad I didn't have to remove any pipes and the whole mechanism.

I heard the buzz...I saw nothing in the disposal. I unplugged and put my hand in there...nothing. Used a knife...nada. The screwdriver along the metal connector was what I wouldn't have figured out initially. After disconnecting, I took my phone's light and could see better. Lo and behold, my wife cleans the fish tanks and leaves little rocks in the disposal. I needed needle nose pliers like you to dislodge. After reassembly, I was good. Thanks for saving me some dough today!

Thank you soooooooooo much for this video. I'm often intimidated by home repairs but want to do the jobs myself and save money. This video/lesson has given me the confidence I needed (and need) to tackle these projects myself. Thank you!

Thank you for your thorough and very clear explanation of how to diagnose and fix this problem. Took me roughly 20 minutes to take mine apart, clean it out and remount and test it. Brilliant!

I’m so grateful for people like you who take the time to post videos like this. Thank you!!!!! ♥️

Lol. I pressed the reset button. Decided that I need KZread. After watching this video, I decided to skip all the steps and just reached in and found the screw that fell in and was jamming it. Guess I better find me an Allen wrench that fits so I can do all the middle steps so it can work again.

Step 2 did it for me! I didn't feel anything at first, but then found an aluminum can tab wedged along one side. Now to find the friend who sent that down the sink... Thank you!

this comment section more than said what i needed too, i think we all learned something here at some point in time so goddamn thank you and keep doing the lords work!

Many, many thanks my friend. I was trying for hours, unsuccessfully, to fix this. I didn't need to remove the unit thankfully as the first option worked. I was so happy I wanted it to stop working again just so I could fix it all over again!! Thank you...

This is a wonderful video. My husband and I are not a "fix it" couple. But, with your to the point video we fixed our disposal. The most difficult part was to put the pipes back together. Everything else was exactly as you said. You saved $$$$ for sure. Thank you!

Thanks for the step by step guide!! I was able to get my disposal to start working after taking it apart and getting a bunch of glass shards out!

shattered a glass lid in the sink and this happened, greatly helpful, thank you very much

Wow! 71 year old gal here. Disposal was humming, couldn't fix despite baking soda/vinegar etc. Finally I saw this video, found the wrench and dislodged the jam! Service call avoided -- thank you!!!!

Great video. Quick and to the point. Took me 10 minutes to disassemble and reassemble start to finish because of you! Thanks!

Wow. I was going to ask my dad to come over and help with the disposal, but took a look at this video and was able to fix it myself. Really appreciate it. Thank you!

Great video! Solved my problem after disassemble. Reassemble was difficult lifting and turning at the same time. I ended up using my car jack to get it in place. Worked perfectly if anyone else struggled with that. Thanks man!

I feel like much more of a man after watching this video and actually being able to fix my garbage disposal. Thanks!

Thank you Sir. I only got to the wrenching section and it was fixed, something was jamming it.

Thank you! Great video, clear instructions, straight to the point, helpful! No fluff, no wasted time. I appreciate that!

Thank you! I was stumped. You seem to be the only video that went beyond the first two steps of troubleshooting. Turns out we had a screw stuck in the same way. Appreciate the time and $$$ savings by not having to call a plumber.

Great video, My mom and I fixed it within 2 minutes, it was just 1 turn with the wrench that fixed it! Thanks so much!

This is incredible, I can't believe I fixed our garbage disposal. I saved some money by finding your video & gained some confidence. Your steps were easy to follow. My issue turned out to be a washer, lol. Thank you!

This was incredibly helpful. The ironic thing is I have your same cabinets and handles, same counter top, and found a screw in my disposal! It was an exact fit! Thanks again.

Thank you so much! Fixing my disposal was surprisingly easy and it only took a few minutes since I didn't have to go through all of the steps.

Thank you ... after using the 1/4" allen wrench to loosen the stuckness I fished out lots of bits with a magnet ...

Great video! No fluff at the beginning, just simple sequential instructions. Fixed my disposal in 15 minutes after watching it.

Thanks, I followed your directions and fixed my garbage disposal, no leaks or mess. You saved me from calling a plumber.

Thank you so much! This video is succinct, clear, and helped me so much! I had a "chain-mail" type of dish scrubber that unknown to me to had fallen into my garbage disposal. I though it was just ice because it happened after I had some guests over. Well it wasn't ice, and it started coming apart in my disposal and small bits of metal got jammed in the teeth. I thought I was going to have to call a plumber, or buy a whole new disposal, but this video taught me differently and I'm so pleased. Thank you!

Thank you! I live alone and prefer to not have maintenance come in. I did this all alone and even broke a sweat but I did it:) Awesome video!

Bro, you're a hero! Just took mine apart, and it had a screw in it too! Dunno why or how it got in there, but I'm saved now xD

This was a great video. In my case I had an olive seed lodged under one of those motors preventing it from rotating. Gave it a good clean and it’s working perfectly. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for a simple to follow video. Found a childrens toy wedge in there and now it is working perfectly again.

Checking this when I get home from work tonight!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had a scrubber that somehow got jammed underneath the disposal blades, and I could not dislodge it manually while it was still attached to the sink. I had to remove the disposal completely to properly get in there and remove it. But I fixed it- thanks to YOU!! And it was super easy! Your steps were concise, detailed, and simple to follow. Thank you so much! You’re a blessing! ❤

This video was on the money!. I followed your tutorial and it turned out i had a screw stuck in my disposal too. It took a bit of finesse, but i was able to get the screw dislodged and we're back in business. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I am confident I can fix my disposal now!

This was really helpful. I was able to get it fixed with the Allen wrench but after seeing how easy it was to take it apart i did so and cleared additional junk. Thanks for the video!

Perfectly explained. Step by step was easy to follow, and I solved my issue! An entire nail in the disposal! Thanks my man!

You saved my life on Thanksgiving Day! I had to wash a lot of dishes! It was so heavy and hard to lift the disposal and turn it at the same time by myself. I just put a lot of books under the disposal to make it reach the right height, then, I turned it easily. Thank you!

I am so glad I found this video!! It is a rare event when I fix something myself but your explanation and solution worked to perfection. Note to world: unpopped popcorn kernels are bad your teeth and garbage disposals. Thanks much for your virtual repair assist. 😁

This video gave me everything I needed to fix my disposal from start to finish, awesome job! That deserves a subscription 👍🏽👏

Thank you for this video, helped me out immensely. Didn’t have faith I could do it myself. Couldn’t wait for the plumber over the holiday weekend. Repaired it myself.

Thank you so much for showing the quick fixes before dissembling. I was scared to mess with the disposal but your video gave me hope and fixed my issue.

That was perfect, thank you. Five minutes and it was running again. Just moved into our home and this happened so it was a relief to be able to repair it and not call the plumber. Bravo to you and nicely videoed for easy understanding.

Thank you for the instructions. We had to replace outs (plastic bag bound the whole thing up and we found a crack) and this was a HUGE help!

Great video! Knowing very little about home repairs, I was so frustrated and upset by my disposal that I was ready to pay a repair man to come out. But watching your video gave me the knowledge and confidence to tackle it. Turns out it wasn't so bad at all! Thanks so much. Seems like a simple thing to you, I'm sure, but this kind of video genuinely helps people.

very well done on this video! Saved me with the "turn the motor from the bottom thing" trick...fixed me right up!

You are a hero - Just saved me a good chunk of change calling a plumber or worse buying a new disposal unit!! Had a piece of glass caught down there!!

I had replaced my disposal a few years ago due to a frozen motor. This time instead of replacing it I followed this video to the letter. Sure enough I also had a small screw wedged in exactly the same spot. Works fine now and took the opportunity to clean thoroughly inside and out. Save me $100-150 in parts and I’m guessing about the same in labor. Took me about 25 minutes and cost NOTHING!!! Thank you

Lol .05 sec in to the video, i swear that had a "napoleon dynamite" feel with the camera lookin up and down like that lol

Thank you for this video! Turns out, one of my kids put a screw in the disposal and I had to do all of the steps. This was definitely a helpful video!

Thank you for the great tips. This is very empowering for a first time home owner like myself. Your work matters and is very appreciated!

Very clear and straight to the point, as others have stated. I was able to fix mine in a matter of minutes. Thank you!

You’re a lifesaver. I just had to turn with the Allen wrench one good time and bam it worked! Hubs had already called someone to come fix he’s a lazy man. 😂 Maybe he should just pay me or you instead. 😂 have a wonderful day will be subscribing to your channel.

I was exploring new models at HD and Lowes before I ran into your instructions. Took me to the 2nd step to fix. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the help. Couldn't find anything wrong and then looked in the creases where you found your screw. A tip of a knife blade was broken loose and lodged. Used your tips to free it!

This was perfect!!!! I just fixed my disposal thank you for everything!!!!

This saved me hundreds of $ from calling a plumber! Thank you!!

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for the video. This is exactly what happened with mine. Some kinda broken plastic chunk was stuck in the grinder. I had gone through all the other steps and was sure I was gonna have to just replace before I stumbled across this video. I looked down from the top with a flashlight, used a sharp knife to poke around the edges and sure enough there was the jam. I DO need some new, longer needle nose pliers though! I felt like I was playing that old board game OPERATION for a few mins. Thanks again!

Thank you for this! I really didn’t want to call our complex maintenance, haha. I had to take the entire disposal out so I could see inside, it ended up being the smallest little piece of (?) that I had to force out but now it works better than ever! Thanks for the confidence boost. :)

Very useful video as he explained step by step to fix the issue. It’s a big relax to every household to solve the issue by themselves with the help of this great gentleman. Thanks!!

Awesome video! Fixed my disposal in 60 seconds thanks to this. In my case, the "screw" was two tiny pieces of glass from a broken tumbler that got jammed up in the works. Fortunately, spinning the gear underneath dislodged them without having to remove the unit. Thanks so MUCH! I feel like a pro! :)

Your video on how to resolve the garbage disposal humming was perfect 👍 I always wondered what the allen wrench was for and glad I kept it my tool box. That simple turning of the motor resolved the issue. My wife and I spent the winter in Texas and when we got home that disposal would not spin only hum. My guess is it was a rusted. Thanks for your video

This was awesome! We got a wash rag stuck in the disposal and watching this video fixed my issue in less than 5 minutes!

My guy! You just helped me fixed my disposal. The grooves that allows the flywheel to spin seen in 3:23 were just COMPLETELY covered in gunk and as such the flywheel wouldn’t budge. Cleared all the gunk and was then able to spin the flywheel with an Allen wrench! Reconnected everything and it roared like a champ!

A huge thank you! I was able to follow your simple steps and fix my disposal by just rotating it manually. I’ve never done this before so I was totally clueless and afraid of a huge plumbing bill. Thank you thank you!!! 🙏😄

You helped me fix my garbage disposal! My husband said it was probably dead because she's 10 years old but there's still some life in her yet!

My son broke a glass in the sink in bits of it went down the disposal. This video showed EXACTLY what was wrong with it! 🙏

Your video was just the perfect solution for my stuck disposal today. I followed your steps found the culprit screw. It was jam-stuck and locked in. Thankfully I could reach it with the screw driver to unscrew at an angle to get out out. You made my day. Thanks!!!

Went to turn on the garbage disposal and got the humming sound! Thanks to this video I was able to fix. My culprit was a soda can tab! Will be checking out your other videos - good stuff!

ThaNK you. My obstruction was a short trumpet mouthpiece brush, caught the same way as your screw. I was able to use the allen wrench to rotate the spinner thing, and needle nose pliers to pull it out, all in one piece. It did not have to disassemble the thing. No leaks. Works OK. Thank you again !!! --AS

Thank you for this video. I just fixed my Garbage disposal with the allen wrench. I rotated it like your video said to do and something was blocking it. Now it works just fine. 👍
