Stacy 0 #1 December 6, 2002 I find this funny. I'm on the phone with someone who infomrs me that the garbage disposal is broken. after having roommates climb under the sink, replugging it in, manually removing the garbage... etc, he finally listens to ME (the blond polish girl) and pushes the reset button. Voila, blondie was right, and now the appliance works correctly. did i mention that said person is a licensed plumber? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #5 December 6, 2002 Just don't hit the red button next to that red button, *that* red button will bring an end to the universe as we know it, the other one resets the disposal. They're not labeled very well though...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo 0 #7 December 6, 2002 You mean the red history eraser button? That button is clearly marked, no one in their right mind would hit that button. Or would they.... - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornholio 0 #8 December 6, 2002 If it's humming and not turning, then the motor is probably jammed. If you look underneath next to the red button that is next to the other red button that ends the universe, there is a place for an allen wrench to fit into. It should be in the center of the disposal. Unplug your disposer, then put a correctly sized allen wrench (probably 3/8" or 1/2" ) into the slot and turn the wrench in both directions to clear up the jam. Try that and see if that works. If that doesn't work then press the blue button that will show you how deep the rabbit hole really goes.... Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah!

Jimbo 0 #9 December 6, 2002 If it's humming now, that means it's probably jammed. You should have a tool that came with the garbage disposal to fix this, it looks like (actually it probably is) an allen wrench. Put the wrench in the hole in the middle of the garbage disposal and turn to free whatever is jammed. Good luck. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

AggieDave 6 #11 December 6, 2002 Yup, but the next line of that law requires *payment* by the wife...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharpfive 0 #12 December 6, 2002 If you don't have the tool, throw a hamster or a really cute kitten in the disposal, insert the stopper, and turn it on. They run around, clear up the jam and then....oh well. Works every time for me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
