Never knew there was a spot to put an Allen wrench in there. My disposal has been non working and clogging for years. I did this and it drained right away and the disposal works again. Thanks!
Just want to say, I watched your video and went out to get a quarter inch Allen wrench. I got home and in about 10 seconds, my problem was fixed! Thank you so much!!
I come to this fix guy every time I forget not to; put shred carrots or spinach or any veggie that has fibers. I keep tge thing smelling good once a week with vinegar baking soda and ice 🧊 keeps blades sharp
Wow!!! The button was still inside and the blade us swirling. I press the button once and it moved the water faster. I turned it off and press the button 3x and turned it back on. It loosened up and went down!!! Thank you! Dont put bad spinach in the disposal by the handfuls. I guess the fibers get stuck. Thank you so much!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Regularly clean your garbage disposal. An easy way to do this is to take ice and heavily salt all the cubes. Next, put this salted ice in the disposal and turn it on whilst the faucet is running - but just barely. At most 10% of the maximum flow... so basically as soon as the water forms a stream is sufficient. You will notice a huge difference next time you use it. Make sure the water runs the whole time. Do not turn the water all the way up as it will just melt the ice and wash away the salt which is useful for its abrasive action cleaning away all sorts of built-up gunk which sticks on the blades sometimes locking up the disposal. After almost all the ice is gone and the disposal is running smooth, turn the water all the way up and hot. Run it for a short while longer... flush that disgusting slime down and out. Finally, be amazed at the difference it looks compared to before. Whole process takes 90 seconds.
I put ice down mine once a week. Also helps if you have small bits stuck in it like onion skins and pushes it all out. I don’t know how I ever lived without a disposal. My bin used to smell so bad.
I get it clogged with shredded 🥕 or spinach. Ugh. My blades are sharp as I use your technique along with baking soda vinegar and ice. Thank you too. I come back to do the unclog when I forget not to put in the veggies that have shreds.
Just want to let you know, been working on this for two hours before I found your vid. Vid helped me fix it in 5 minutes and you saved me at least 150❤
Omg thank you soooo much ours hasn’t been working for months and we got used to it, so after seeing this turns out that the red button was out and it was that simple😭😭
I just bought a new garbage disposal because the previous one rusted through and was leaking. I hooked it up but it won’t turn on. It’s not the button. I hooked up the wires; black to black & white to white, and the ground. Still nothing. Circuit breaker panel works fine. I’m clueless at this point. Any pointers?
What is the point of the Allen wrench? Is it to loosen the garbage disposal? Sorry, that part confused me and I need to try this because mine is clogged too.
Best way to fix it is to remove it and put in a normal drain, save yourself from calling a plumber because of clogged pipes and remove the hidden danger
This saved me a whole lot of stress thank you for sharing! I just fixed mine in two minutes without having to even put my hands in the nasty water and as a neurodivergent I can’t thank you enough 🥲

It's connects to the flywheel , just like a car when a mechanic manually turns via the crankshaft
For years? Bro

How often should you clean it? Everyday?

Did the same thing and automatically fixed it now I can add plumbing to my resume😉
Good word make sure that fork don't get into that garbage disposal
I put a fork in my microwave
@@Visitor-y2p your a menace to society 💀

God Bless you brother!! Very helpful ❤
Thank you! Instant fix!
I actually thought someone vomited in that. I literally gaged
It worked for me…thanks for sharing
When I put my Allen key in there it won’t move do you know if there is a fix to that problem I’m assuming it’s stuck because something is in there
Nicely done.
Thank you it works perfectly now. ❤
A life saver!!
Omg thank you soooo much ours hasn’t been working for months and we got used to it, so after seeing this turns out that the red button was out and it was that simple😭😭
It worked for me, thanks brother

Were they making soup in the sink?

Need a multi-meter to verify voltage then go from there. If the wires you hook up have 120v then the disposal is a dud
Too many people think they have a Cuisinart under their kitchen sink. That's gross, scrape your plates in the garbage, people!
Isn’t that the point of a garbage disposal 🤔
@@The419coTo an extent but mine definitely clogs easy if I do more than a few bits of food.
@@anh7807 oh see I’ve never experienced that with any I’ve used. On when the dishcloth accidentally got in there 🤦🏿♀️😂
What is the point of the Allen wrench? Is it to loosen the garbage disposal? Sorry, that part confused me and I need to try this because mine is clogged too.
Thank you!
I found this vid and I didn't even know this was possible! It did the humming but even after trying it it seems that it's just broken oof
Thank you!!
Mine looks like that sink but the disposal does make a noise just doesn't do anything like it's stuck
Worked for me thx
There are certain things you shouldn’t put down the garbage disposal. That looked like too much crap they were putting down there. 😬

Goat
The fork was just. chilling
Thanks
I’m guessing you take the Allen wrench out when you tap the switch
No you leave it in so it flings around
@@christophersmokeyday622 bro I died 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes please do that
Worked thx
This saved me a whole lot of stress thank you for sharing! I just fixed mine in two minutes without having to even put my hands in the nasty water and as a neurodivergent I can’t thank you enough 🥲
For me.. the water is pumping up from the other drain and splitting everywhere 😂 I think I'm in trouble
No where to stick my wrench. Please help
the fork almost got destroyed lmao
Maybe it's the four forks causing the issue mate
I just had a new house built and I do not have a garbage disposal on purpose. Gross.
😳 when I saw the fork
Why you didn't stick your hand in that disgusting water to make sure there was no forks in it before you turned it on 😂😂🤢🤮
Ill be honest... i thought that was soup at the start and actually didnt looked half bad...
Nice
I did this and it’s still clogged
Dammit I bought a new one
Stick a fork in it and it will be done! Wow
Mine worked just by pressing the button.
Tapping it with a hammer works often
Wouldn’t recommend this
Clogged and jammed
he said after putting his wife down the drain with the dinner she only slightly burned.
Still didn’t work
Who allows that much food garbage down the sink? Wipe that crap into the garbage before rinsing off.
Bro clean out your plate into the garbage bag
U forgot to put the fork in
Thanks
