Quick and Simple Tips to Keep Your GARBAGE DISPOSAL Working Like New!

What happens here

After manually unjamming the disposal with the Allen wrench, locate the small red reset button on the bottom of the unit. Press this button; you should feel or hear a click. If the disposal motor hums but doesn't run after resetting, it's likely still jammed. Turn off the power again and carefully reach into the disposal from the sink opening to feel for the item that caused the jam. **Caution: Be extremely careful when reaching into the disposal. Ensure the power is OFF to prevent serious injury from the blades. Objects like glass or jagged metal can cut your hands.** Remove the obstruction. If you are uncomfortable doing this, or if the jam persists, it is best to call a professional plumber.

Goal: After unjamming, reset the disposal by pressing the red button and then carefully remove any remaining debris from the top.
