    Everyone!!! Make sure you pull out the rubber thing first. After following his steps, looks for a flat head looking indent near the wall. Stick a long flat head driver down there and turn back and forth until you get a nice 360. Mines works now!! I threw some baking soda and vinegar and hot water before turning it back on. Works like new. Thank you so so much to the owner of this video!!! :D

      I want to THANK YOU! I've never tried to fix a garbage disposal ever! Your tip with the flathead indent/screwdriver was the ticket! Mine works great! My hubby who isn't mechanical asked me if I'd marry him (again!😂) thx again!!!

      ​@@SillyLionheart Sorry for the late reply! When you look down the drain, you should see a opening that kind of looks like the charging spot on a cell phone, you should be able to put a flat head into it a bit and then move the blades manually. Think back to vhs tapes or cassettes when wed have to rewind them. So just look for that little indent that's the length of a flat head. Hope this helps!!

      Butter knives work. It’s not recommended or even safe. For sure at your own risk if you try. But (American) butter knives slotted in where the tool would sit and used to leverage the flywheel works. It’s hard as hell and again so not safe to have your hands that close to the blade. I know it’s well past the helpful period for your issue. But hopefully it’ll help someone.

    You and everyone who commented is a life saver. I have guests coming over and of course I started have issues with my disposal. For anyone else who has my issue. So I ran my dishwasher and all the water started backing up in my sink. It was super gross looking and the water would not go down. So I couldn't even see what he sees in this video. but I took the end of a metal rod I had and stuck it down in the water, just put at the bottom, put some pressure against bottom side, not the very bottom, and started churning like you see how people churn butter, keeping the end of the rod taught with the bottom side, like you are trying to push the side around, and then the water started going down. Also I took out my rubber stopper and took a scrub brush and cleaned it all the way out.

    Thank you so very much!! Our Moen Garbage Disposal was less than 2 years old in our vacation home in Florida. The darn thing was jammed, we heard the hum of the motor, hit the reset button, nothing...we saw your video.
    Ordered the part on Amazon...a day later the tool you showed arrived, we used it, after we unplugged it and removed the rubber gasket at the opening and the disposal is working perfect...thank you. We did have to hit the reset button again after using the tool. You saved us a service call, perhaps even purchasing a new disposal, now we have a tool for the future, if this happens again, and we can share with our neighbors who might have the same type of disposal. This should be given with the purchase of the disposal. Again, thanks!!

    I used a wooden spoon as I live in a small town and home depot is our only hardware place for the next 200 miles. Make sure the reset button is pushed in after you unplug it, take the backend of a wooden cooking spoon and stick in the drain. Feel for like a metal lip or clip and just try to push it with wooden spoon and u should feel a slight spin. All you need. Plug it in, check button is pushed in and run the water before you run disposal. Should run after that. Don't need a tool for this moen.

    Although I didn’t have either tool to try and fix mine, it gave me a good point of reference, I started with a 9 mm wrench for the bottom tried twisting that didn’t work, so then I went in with a butter, knife and scraped around the edges just to find a piece of glass jammed in mine, which went down after I tapped it. So this might help as well.

As to the special tool, I first sprayed interior edge of disposal after removing rubber guard then I used a 3/4in PVC pipe about 15-18" long and put pipe over the nub in the bottom of the disposal and could use the top of pipe as leverage to get it to move. Move it around a couple times to get moving relatively smoothly. Poor Moen design!!

    Try cleaning with baking soda and distilled white vinegar first: So my Moen garbage disposal was jammed up pretty bad. I usually use a small pry bar and push against one of the chopper blades to get it freed up. This time it not want to free up at all with a pry bar at all. I tried a method of cleaning garbage disposals using baking soda and distilled white vinegar. I don't usually measure it out but I dumped around 1/3 cup baking soda and then dumped in 1 cup distilled white vinegar. I let is sit for a minute while I went and got my pry bar. I came back and tried to move it and it was freed up like it was not jammed at all. If this didn't work I was going to have to replace it.

      If you are mainly just using your disposal to clean off plates after a meal I would recommend the Moen GX50C. It is a 1/2HP, has a stainless steel grinding chamber and a 5 year warranty. If you use your disposal for a lot of food scraps and want to put larger items in like melon rinds I would recommend either the Inskerator Pro750 or the Pro88LT.

    I tell people this about their new disposal from costco and they don't think it will be an issue. Then 3 months later they want to pull it out and install an insinkerator.
    Side note. Pay the extra money for the 1/2 or 3/4 hp version. You can thank me later after you ran a whole pineapple through your disposal with no problems.

    • @NurseTayTayJay

And I don’t put whole pineapples in the dang thing! Peeled potatoes over the sink (NOT into the disposal, but a Walmart bag to collect my mess!) and a couple peels escaped… my husband about had a cow (he doesn’t have a repair bone in his body!)

    Yes. My daughter's is about 1 year old and does this! I am DONE RECCOMENDING MOEN!
    I guess we get to pay a plumber AGAIN to replace this
    SHE WANTS A BONE CRUSHER 9000!
    ARE THERE ANY DECENT BRANDS ANYMORE??

    You do not need to buy that tool; you can use a painter's 5-way scraper. You do not need to unplug the disposal, there is nothing that's going to shock you. Push the button, then put the 5-way tool down in and turn it to loosen any clogs.

    Get a flat head screw driver, put it in one of those openings and turn it. It should become free and work again

    I just use a comically large wooden stick from Home Depot I got laying around and force it to move

    Such a poor design - I replaced my old insinkerator of about 15 years and once in a while it got jammed but just used the allen wrench to work it free. Now, I had to take a wooden spoon and move the blades around which eventually worked but again, a poor design IMO.

    I simply used a butter knife and rotated it once I found the slot. Problem solved. No need for the tool

    If this happened twice recently with a new disposal it’s not the disposal. It’s the operator. They are putting too much trash in the disposal. It is a food waste disposal. Not a garbage disposal.
