    Hey Adam, I usually don't take the time to write reviews, but I felt this was needed. I just want to say that I'm so glad that you took the time to explain this simple repair process. I was having the exact symptom take you went over in the video and after applying your simple methods, my garbage disposal was fixed in a matter of 5 minutes. It felt so good fixing it myself, and it saved me money as well. Thank you for taking the time to show us how to fix these home appliances ourselves, and save money in the process. Best regards and be blessed into 2023. Mike C.

    Adam, it's 2018. Nearly 4 years ago you posted this video that was destined to help me 4 years later. Thanks for your tips! I didn't even watch the whole video. The first 3 tips (checking the breaker, using the wrench, and pressing the reset button) were enough to fix my problem. This may not seem like a big deal but it is. See, my husband's been in hospitals & rehabs for the last year and I've had to take over everything. Even though we have a home warranty it would cost me $100 to call for a repair. As of 10 minutes ago, with Gods help, I solved the problem for nothing! Thank you.

    I fixed my disposal! Had left my non-functioning disposal alone after trying to clear blockages manually and then doing the allen wench thing to no effect. Then my sink started backing up (unsurprisingly) and something had to be done. Started on the unclog your sink video, then went this one when i couldn't find an obvious clog. Gave me the courage to take my disposal off! There was a lot of corrosion inside and I basically had to chip around the bottom rim to free the main rotating disk. Now it drains well, the disposal works, and everything is back together with no leaks! I suspect I'll need a new disposal soon due to the corrosion, but short term everything is working. And i have the confidence to install a replacement disposal now! Thanks very much, great video.

    Adam thank you so much!!! My husband's salary took a hit during COVID-19 and I had already spent quite a bit of $ fixing my car, and the garage door, so I hesitated fixing the garage disposal until we developed a gnat problem. I have been praying to the LORD about which plumbing company to reach out to, since my elderly mother is with me, right now, and last night I sensed Him say go to KZread and fix it yourself. I was led to your video and while watching it over and over again while praying, I, with the LORD'S help, fixed my own garbage disposal. Amazing!!!! My husband was shocked and I feel empowered!!! Thank you Adam for sharing your knowledge. Sharing is caring! God bless!!

    This was the best tutorial out there to fix a disposal. Other videos only addressed the reset switch and the clean out on the bottom. I had broken pyrex in two different spots which was stopping the wheel inside from turning. Once I cleared the jam which was not easy and got the wheel spinning again, it was working better than it did before. The thorough cleaning may have helped too. Thank you for the in-depth look at troubleshooting a disposal. Saved me $80 and gave me a sense of satisfaction.

    Man, you just made my day. Was tossing out some old moldy macaroni from the back of my fridge, and the disposal hummed for a second but never started spinning, then a moment later no sound. Was trying to think what to tell my landlord when I called them up tomorrow and asked them to send a plumber, and googled it to see how expensive a fix was probably going to be (I figured the motor fried on it or something). Half way through your video, and some awkward crawling around under the sink, and it's working fine now. Almost 7 years later and this video is still helping people. Thanks.

After reset (which it needed!), got the hum sound back, but not the grinding. Step 3 - nudge/nudge with the Allen wrench and got the churning/turning I was after! SOOO happy I didn't have to go beyond Step 3. Lucky, indeed! Thought FOR SURE my unit was just dead - but your simple fix has given it new life. Liked and subscribed! Thanks!

    Many thanks, Adam. This was a no-brainier, and thanks for making it easy. I managed to fix mine by jiggling the blade from underneath with a wrench. Plumber had come in and attempted to charge $725 for an unnecessary replacement.

    Thank you for this video! Seriously! Was convinced my 17 year old disposal was done for...turns out there was a very small piece of plastic wedged between the wall and the spinning disc that had jammed it up. It required me taking apart most of it, but I wouldn't have known how to do it or what to look for without this video.

    I figured I had a jam and looked inside to see a piece of plastic wedged. I couldn’t grip it with my short needle nose. I turned to KZread to figure how to manually turn the disposal. Your link was great. You took it step by step for most common issues and built upon it. I found the Allen wrench and a barely effort twist and pop it went. Plucked out the plastic and plugged the unit in and it purred like a kitten. Thanks!!

    I can't begin to thank you enough for this! I went to run my disposal after I had dumped a bunch of ground beef down there but it was just humming and then, with no warning, it stopped working. Not wanting to leave that beef to stew and stink up the joint before my apartment maintenance team could come tomorrow morning, I found your video. Sure enough, the limit switch had tripped and once I turned the nut on the bottom like you said, it was very obvious that it was really bound up but a few turns got it moving again. I reset the limit switch, pushed the button and voila!

    My dad left me, disabled mom and 2 younger siblings and this happened to our disposal. Whenever he’d come around he’d tell us we’d have to figure out to either call a plumber or buy a new disposal. 2 months without a nonfunctional disposal(we’d have to wait hours for the water to go down to wash the dishes or go wash in the bathroom) I finally managed to fix it by watching this video by buying the axel and using the screwdriver & removing. Thank you so much!

    Adam man....Thank you for posting this video. I was experiencing a few of the symptoms you described including: 1) humming , and 2) reset switch had popped. I resolved the problem by following the first part of your video. The main culprit was large pieces of lettuce from a salad my wife had made that evening. The head of the lettuce was pretty firm. After clearing out the food debris, I used a 1/4 inch Allen wrench to unseize the disposal. That helped enough to allow the disposal to turn on again. However, there was a hell of a racket still. I placed my hand in the disposal again and found a quarter dollar coin inside!. After I removed the quarter, (George Washington was pretty well chewed up) all was good. Everything is back to normal now. Wow...I'm stoked. Maybe I'll get lucky tonight! Thanks again for your help. You're the man!
