    Damn! Finally someone who doesn't bore u with talking too much to get to the point! He actually takes the time to BRIEFLY explain step by step for us ladies doing these kind of things at home, and not assuming only guys r watching & skipping basic steps that they know, but we don't👍 i actually put my working gloves on😄 followed this video and got it done ✔ Disposal up and running again! Thanks a lot!

    Thankyou! I am a widow and now have to figure things out for myself. Your video was so easy to follow. I found one of those wrenches in my husband’s tool box. I did it!111

    Thank you so much! My plumber made me buy a new disposal but before he shows up to install it I watched your video and I fixed it! Thanks for a very detailed video and for saving me some money!

    That helped me fix my garbage disposal!! Thank you!! My son cleaned out his fish tank and rocks got stuck in the blades, I thought my disposal was a goner. But thanks to you it working smoothly.

      Disposals can take a lot of abuse. If they become abnormally quiet, (still runs but super quiet), be sure to grab a Flashlight & peer down into the hole. I can’t tell you how many dishcloths I’ve found in them, & if left in there long enough, will start kicking out the Overload or worse, could eventually cause enough resistance to burn up the Disposal if the overload doesn’t kick off! 👌

    I have been away and my room mate made this problem. I was going to call plumber. But I thought youtube can help me. I found this video and we did exactly same what you said.
    OMG!!! I fix it.
    It take only few minute.
    Thank you very much.

    @corneliusdozier7253 4 года назад +3

    Thank you, it saved me hours of unnecessary work. I have been dreading taking the unit down, checking for debris and replacing. It took longer to find the Allen wrench, than to apply to the bottom of the unit, turn and reset. Unbelievable!!

  • @anitamann1625
    @anitamann1625 4 года назад +1

    I liked! THIS was the video that got my disposal working again. I was using the wrong size Allen Key. I wasn't feeling any resistance and you said you should if the blades are being stuck. So then it dawned on me: the key isn't big enough. Found a bigger key, found the resistance, knocked it out, and boom, disposal works again! Thanks!

  • @bodikis06
    @bodikis06 4 года назад +9

    I just wanted to say thank you! We bought our house a year ago and this is the first problem! I was gonna call a plumber when I found your video!

      Yeah.. imagine, a plumber would probably charge $150 - $ 200 to do what you just learned in this video.

  • @svbrahma1
    @svbrahma1 4 года назад +4

    I am facing similar issue. I followed these instructions - Cleared the debris, rotated the blades using hex key. The blades are moving freely .... but the garbage disposal is still making humming noise. How to fix it ? Go for new one ?

    Thanks. My wife dropped a knife in our disposal. We got the handle out but the blade was still in there and we couldn't find it. Cranking the disposal with the hex wrench did the job and saves a lot of aggravation and money.

    Thank you so much!! I would hear a humming sound, but that was it. The disposal wasn't working. So, I followed your instructions, since I didn't have the garbage disposal wrench, I thought that I would have to buy one, but you mentioned that I could use the Allen key set! I'm so glad you mentioned the Allen key set! And now, my garbage disposal works!!! yay! My little girl learned this with me and she now knows how to fix a garbage disposal! I will be posting a video on how to fix a garbage disposal! Since I learned something new from the best, I wanted to share my knowledge with everyone and I gave you credit :) Thank you so much!!

      I hate knowing that there are so many ladies & gents out there that don’t know that a lot of things around the home can be fixed easily, with the right tools & when shown. I’ve went to neighbors & friends homes & fixed the simplest of things, but I never judge... they simply don’t know or have never been shown. Great Video & Explanation here! 👌 If your single like I am, the ladies will love you if you don’t overcharge. I usually ask if they can cook & end up getting a call a few days later to pick up some awesome food or even a dessert. I normally do these smaller projects at No Charge because I have the needed tools as I was in Industrial Maintenance for years. I don’t charge folks or friends for these things, but there certainly are many that do because it’s simply their Livelihood. Kudos to the Gents that share these Videos because we are all being hit with Overcharging from Banks to Drs, to our Meds & Healthcare. Even bottled water cost more than a Gal of gas if you calculate per Gal. If these Billionaire Establishments could Charge for the Air you breathe, they would. It’s unreal how fast your hard earned Cash can be eaten up by the Rich & Greedy. It truly makes me sick & it makes me feel good to say No Charge! I’d rather earn a friend & a Thank You! Makes My Day!!!
