    I saw other video where they were just sticking to reset and use a wrench to twist, which i knew already and it wasn’t working the motor was jammed even though i twist with a wrench and gets jammed again on one point, but you showed so many creative ways, when you showed drilling technique i knew it will definitely work , which it did , me happy wife happy kid happy. Thanks a lot brother. Awesome job to the point. ❤ Subscribed !!!

    Took me near 20 minutes to unstick mine, your video really helped! I used the handle of a hammer to twist the disposal around instead of a broom. A piece of plastic, a piece of sticky tape, a piece of rubber, a twist-tie, and a screw were all teamed up to clog my sink!

    1/4 Allen wrench was the ticket! The can pull tab that was jammed still made noise like you said it might. Locked on to the pull tab with a pair of hemostats then turned it backward with the Allen and was finished. Thanks Man!

  • @jallen3
    @jallen3 3 месяца назад

    Thank you! Thank you for keeping it short and sweet as well as effective. I will add one thing. My issue was ... drumroll .. a shot glass! I can almost reach my hand in but not advised. Hand tools work great for large pieces (the base of the glass) but I used a vacuum cleaner for the majority of the debris. I had to rotate the disposal using the hex wrench a few times to be able to suck everything up, but it's all good now. Simple. Fast. Easy. Free!

    Anyone ever experience this? How do you get it back out?

    Using the Impact drill just saved me $200. I tried the Allen wrench and could not budge the blade. Before replacing it I saw your video. Thank you wish I would’ve seen it before I bought the new disposable.

    How about using a vacuum hose most regular vacuum attachments are small and long enough to fit? Another question I have disposal that will not be used for months at a time causing it to lock up once unstuck it will work but it seems like it needs lube or something is anything to spray it with while attached or can it be removed to do something? Thanks

    I have followed all the steps, and can manuually spin the grinders by hand. When I turn it on, it still hums. When I put the key in the bottom its still very hard to turn either way. Do you think this is due to the motor rather than it being stuck? Or think I should keep trying to turn the key.

    Question, I’ve done the broom stick method before on mine, but this time I can’t even get it to turn, any thoughts? I live in Florida and the water is harsh, I haven’t ran it that often, I put baking soda down it with white vinegar Incase it was just build up, nothing. When I do broom stick method now no matter how hard I push it does not spin,
