So we are all girls and we live in an apartment that has 24hr maintenance on site so we never really needed to get anything done ourselves. Unfortunately, our sink got clogged and due to COVID-19, maintenance is temporarily not available so we had no choice but to get it done ourselves. My sister and I got through 2 videos before yours and sir this video of yours saved us!!! Omg you have no idea how happy we are that we were able to do this ourselves. You are so detailed and straight to the point unlike other videos. We unclogged the sink ourselves (though it was a little messy 😩) but everything else went smooth! You sir are a lifesaver and we just wanted to say a big thank you for this video!!
I stupidly put cereal in the disposal and so I’m trying to figure out how to try and get it running again so I don’t have to call them for what feels like the thousandth time 😂
Thanks mate, 2 years later and you're still helping people, today I just learn how to unclog a food processor and that potato peels clog a food disposal 😃😀
As a woman, I have never done anything like this before, I never thought I could. Thank you so much for this video, it’s quick and to the point which is exactly what I needed! Never putting that much potatoes peels down the disposal ever again 😅
Heart felt thank you at 1 a.m. on a Saturday night! I just needed that little push to see how to take apart the "down there" of my kitchen sink and garbage disposal. Your video de-mystified everything enough that I was encouraged to go ahead, take it all apart and clean. Reamed it all out - there was some jelly like goop just before the left free drain, impinging the right/disposal drain as well as the onion skins I had just tried to dispose of (stupid me). Husband is asleep, I cook a lot and tomorrow is a day I just could not wake up to a non-functional sink and the nightmare of trying to find a plumber (we so rarely have needed one). I am so grateful for your straight forward guidance. All is well, and my sink and under sink are working again and clean as a whistle. Thank you thank you!!!
Thank you very much, Sam! This most definitely worked. This helped me in a very critical moment. I truly appreciate your videos. In my case, what was stuck were the fibers from soy bean outer shells. Like hair over a shower drain, it prevented water from flowing through smoothly, although, with time, the backed up water in the sink did fall.
Straight up owe you a HUGE thank you! My garbage disposal "died" on Friday and that just so happened to be the night my fiancée made fried chicken. So the office to my apartment complex is of course closed Saturday and Sunday, so it's been really rank in the kitchen. I was cleaning up the kitchen tonight (or I guess morning) getting ready to go tell the office today about it and I thought to myself "no, it's just a dang disposal, can't be that hard." I found your video and you have the exact disposal I do, sure enough the button was tripped, so I pushed the button and flipped the switch on and it started buzzing. Ok, that's progress. I flipped it back off and went to the garage to get my hex key set and I put the 1/4" in there and sure enough, it was stuck. So I cranked it a few times until it was easy to turn, flipped the switch on and voila! It "purred" right back to life! Saved me from having to wait for the office to finally get to me and having the cops called on me for the smell of rotting chicken flesh coming from my apartment 😆
Thank you for making this video! I have an irrational phobia of garbage disposals, so this made me feel a lot more comfortable with dealing with a clog that just happened in my kitchen. Gonna go fix it right now!!!
I am wheelchair bound and whenever I encounter a problem in my atpartment, it makes it easier to call management knowing how easy the fix might be. Even if I can't do the repairs myself, this helps me stay knowledgeable. Thank you
I have fixed drains before. But I was really not looking forward to doing it. To refresh my mind, I watched your video. Five minutes later the clog was out and I tightened it back up and had a nice lunch! Thanks for a terrific video!!
HOLY SCHNIKIES! I cannot believe I was able to fix my garbage disposal based off this video - thanks so much, Sam! Appreciate your time & efforts to create/post this content for us; really enjoyed also learning more about how a disposal actually works. Concise with excellent visuals; truly assisted during a much needed time. SUBSCRIBED 👍
Thank you. Did this step by step and my sink is working perfectly again! Smelled horrible though, haha! Anyone who is doing this, put a towel beneath your pipes!
Your clogged garbage disposal fix worked perfectly. It was a clogged pipe connected directly to my garbage disposal. Took about 15 minutes to fix. The satisfaction of fixing things around the house on "my own".....priceless. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I was able to fix my own sink all on my own. Might have dumped a bunch of nasty gunk on myself but the job got done 😊💪😬
Thank you very much! As you said in your video the garbage disposal was fine but the drain was clogged with carrot peels. Your explanation was so clear and easy to follow. I feel empowered to be able to fix it myself! Thank you again!
First time home owner here. Female, 31. I got home after a LONG day of work and at 9pm when I finally decided to cook dinner (roasted vegetables) my disposal clogged!! LAST thing I needed. Your video was the first one that popped up when I googled "clogged garbage disposal" at first I was a little nervous because what the heck is a garbage disposal tool?! But after I skipped that step (I didn't know what else to do) the instructions and walk through video was perfect. Thank you SO much for the heads up on grabbing towels and putting the bowl under it! I had water and vegetables (carrots and brussel sprouts) EVERYWHERE! But mostly in the bowl. Thank you so much, it took me a half hour start to finish to do this. You're a savior.
THANK YOU! I have metal pipes so I unscrewed them, dumped the water, took a wire hanger & dug through each pipe. I was able to clear it out & put pipes back together w/o calling anyone just watching your straight to the point video. God bless you!
Thank you kindly, this was informative. I did try my late momma’s method first, out of respect, and used a clean plunger and it worked fantastic and was much less work and effort.
I can’t thank you enough for this video. The others videos were helpful but didn’t address my problem. I now know never to put pasta in my disposal. I feel so proud to have repaired this. My husband said he would look at it tomorrow but I couldn’t deal with the yucky water standing in the sink. Thanks again!
In no way shape or form am I a handyman with anything around the house. So when the sink clogged today and the garbage disposal didn't clear it, I knew I was in trouble. I came into my office to get the number of a plumber I used awhile back, and thought, why not look at UA-cam to see if it shows how to fix the problem. I watched this video and went right in and fixed my clogged sink/garbage disposal. AMAZING! Thanks so much for making a simple how to video that even I could follow and make the repair. WOOHOO!!
This is a tutorial every woman should watch. This was so helpful and saved me today. Thank you so very much for the simple tutorial that did not over complicate anything!
Omg, I love you!! I live in an apt and I thought it was going to take a maintenance work order to come and repair my garbage disposal, which could’ve taken a while with the holiday coming up and may have cost me additional rent. All it took was clearing the drain and pushing the reset button. Sending you many many many thank you’s!!! I appreciate this video!
I have asked my husband for over a year to fix my disposal and dishwasher. They were both relatively new and i know its just a clog. I've checked all the resets so now im going to take it apart. Thank you so much fir the quick and to the point video.
Thank you so much for this concise video. I was able to follow it & unclog my daughter’s garbage disposal in Thanksgiving Day. You are a life saver!!! Thank you.
Thank you for the video! I did not realize the joint is often where the clog happens. Sure enough, mine had a clump of beef blocking it! Pulled it out and good to go now!
Thank you so much. Bad a** Grammy fixed my own disposal with your excellent video! I was very intimidated before watching your video. I was surprised at how easy it was to disassemble the pipes, clear them out & reassemble. No more celery or artichoke leaves down the disposal! Thanks again!
Seeing this was like those Matrix movie experiences putting those "hoses" on the back of your neck and all of a sudden learning Jiu-Jitsu. Thank you so much! Absolutely useful!
I almost replaced my garbage disposal because none of the other videos fixed the problem. This was my exact issue. Cleared it out and completed in 5 minutes. Thank you so much!!
😮😘❤️You just saved me!!! no one was available for me this morning as I was going to cook and then the garbage disposal clogged with carrot skin. I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO AND I FIXED IT MYSELF!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH 😘😘😘
Can not thank you enough! You truly saved me! Lol I was panicking when mine did this, I watched your video and said, "I can do this!" Lol I did!! When my husband got home he was like wow great job and no leaks! Lol Thank you again!!!
It's funny to see the roles reversed. Usually the husband will leave me a message like... the wife thought she was getting such and such new... I watched your video and so I'm happy but the wife's not 😅 Now after your comment the husbands are going to start forwarding the videos to their wives... here honey you fix it 😂🤣 Thank you for watching! 😀
@@MoreThanMaintenance Right! Lmao I felt soo proud! I'm a plumber now😂 My husbands can fix anything so it felt good to be like DONE! What's next!😉 Thanks again!
Just used your vid to fix my garbage disposal. Worked like a charm! Thank you so much for making that vid and making it super simple. The water pressure advice was spot on, thanks for that warning. Cheers!
Thank you for your quick and to the point instructions. Video tutorial was professionally done. Made it easy for someone who has never tackled any disposal issues. Gratitude 🙏🏽 🗑 💧 😃
THIS VIDEO JUST SAVED MY ROOMMATE AND I HUNDREDS!!! Thank you SO, SO MUCH!!! This video was seriously a lifesaver. You're amazing and I hope you know how much of a difference you've made!
I'm a retired woman living in a HUD unit in CA with management tactics that are too shady to mention here for fear of retaliation. So this is about the 5th place on and off You Tube for help with a double clog to no avail!!! I certainly no better than to put certain things down a drain, and the things that can cause this nightmare are often not what you'd think. Also we are not allowed to use the usual drain cleaners like Draino, with the warning they could damage the PVC piping, and the tenants are held liable; the hack I tried about an hour ago seemed like it was a go, but after this "easy, 3 step process", I not only have a clogged DISPOSAL, but SINK as well. Full of boiling hot, greasy waste water......thanks for doing this and I welcome any ideas anyone has!
Thanks I have a good for nothing husband when it comes to fixing things and this didn’t seem like something I wanted to spend 100 bucks on for a plumber to come fix .. helped out a lot !!
Thank you thank you thank you. I've been over here reaching my brain trying to figure out why I couldn't catch a break. It was so simple and easy to loosen up the pipe and everything came out. I cleaned it and ran a test like you said. Thank you!!!!
Thank you Sam 🎉! After googling how to unplug a garbage disposal it gave me your video. Your instructions were simple and easy to follow. I was able to unplug the disposal with no problem. Thank you 😊
Hey man, Thank you so much. Thanks to this video. I was able to cancel the work order for my landlord - Which would have been seen as low priority and I would have had standing water in my sink for 2 weeks... I appreciate you and the video.
The video makes perfect sense, but I don't feel confident in doing it myself. It looks like a simple repair, but at least when I have someone come by, I'll know what to look for when it's being worked on. It's still gonna cost me money to fix, but at least I haven't totally ruined everything. Thank you for being so clear!!
This is the exact issue facing me this morning, rad. I can also take the time to clean out the drain a bit when down there so that works. I know the P-trap is flushing fine from the other sink so thanks for giving me the pinpoint where I need to go
Thank you for this! I’ve never felt so powerful after fixing my own disposal. I saved so much money and it only took maybe ten minutes! Thank you again for empowering me!
So we made the mistake of dumping dry grits down the disposal. I know, BIG MISTAKE. 🤦🏽♀️. Anywho, sink got clogged. Two single women totally lost on what to do. Your suggestion to remove and clear the pipe worked!! This video saved the day, and my 💵. Thank you 🙏🏽
You saved me a $200 dollar plummer phone call. It took me 15 minutes (pretty much waiting for the water to drain) and 5 minutes figuring out how to put it back together but my sink works perfectly now. Thank you so much you're a ROCKSTAR!
On this Thanksgiving day I plugged my disposal. I can only imagine how much I would of payed someone to do this...if I could even find someone on a holiday. Thank you thank you!!! I did this myself! Not bad for a 67yr old!
Owe you one! Thank you! I thought i was going to need to replace my disposal but you saved me money and sanity. Appreciate you for putting this video out there.
Tytytyty so much for posting this video. You'd think it would be common sense, but it's so daunting to know what to do when problems go awry! You saved the day for me! I can't wait to watch other videos!
Man .. many thanks for the video. I have checked that the blades weren’t jammed but o didn’t know what to do next. I removed the pipe under the sink, which was quite easy and removed all the rice out. Many thanks
Thank you so much! This video made it so easy to understand and seem less intimidating. I was able to follow your instructions and unclog my disposal. 🎉❤
Awesome. This describes my problem exactly. Blade won't turn but i don't have an allen wrench. Main issue is i put next to nothing in the disposal and it's clogged on that one side as you showed. Going to try this and hopefully that's an easy fix. Thanks so much for this easy and detailed tutorial.
Haha I love this video. I can't believe I can also be a plumber as I was able to fixed our clogged garbage disposal. My husband can't believe I was able to fixed it. Thx Sam.
Thank you! Solved my problem 30secs into watching this 👍🏽 I was about to call a repairman when all I needed to do was press the reset button underneath! 🤪
Thank you. After one hour extremely frustrating trial and error thank god I decided to log into UA-cam and find you, my saviour! Fixed the problem in less than 5mins!
Heck yeah Sam! U got my sub! Quick, simple, informative, and to the point without extra fluff? U hooked me man! I'm a new subscriber and I can't wait to see some of your other videos! Thank u!
Thank you! You saved me 250+. We just lost my husband, so doing these things is difficult. This video saved our sanity and our disposal
Sorry for your loss!
Thank you I feeel like a real woman today after watching this video and fixing my own disposal.
Lissy WRI glad you were able to get er done, have a good day.
Lissy WRI same.
Sis!!! Same here!!!! Thank you Sam & UA-cam!!!
YALL... all I had to do was press the reset button!! I've been struggling for a while and finally decided to see if I could fix.
Lol same. Can't go 30 minutes without my sink!

Thanks mate, 2 years later and you're still helping people, today I just learn how to unclog a food processor and that potato peels clog a food disposal 😃😀
I'm also here because of potato peels🥔
Me too 😱😭🤦🏼♀️
Ahaha same potato peels 😂🥴

I wdnt put potato peels down at all.
Omg I did the same! I hope my boyfriend don’t kill me. I should of known better 😅😅😅
I did the same. But has liquid plumber in the half sink of water. Now what????

Just used your video to fix my pipes! Thank you! I've never worked with plumbing before. 😁👌🏻💪🏻
On this Thanksgiving day I plugged my disposal. I can only imagine how much I would of payed someone to do this...if I could even find someone on a holiday. Thank you thank you!!! I did this myself! Not bad for a 67yr old!
Owe you one! Thank you! I thought i was going to need to replace my disposal but you saved me money and sanity. Appreciate you for putting this video out there.
Thank you, brother. You just saved me a $200 plumber bill. Much appreciated. Keep up the good videos. Thank you again so much.
Your video was helpful, well-rounded, concise, and to the point. Thank you
Exactly what my issue was. My wife thought it would be a good idea to stuff squash noodles down the garbage disposal.
aimee charles I did this, today :( intution told me not to. I should've listened.
My girlfriend though it would be a good idea to load it full of potato peels
What kind of weak-ass disposals do you guys have?
aimee charles I’m guessing you’re a fortunate man who is blessed with a wife who chooses to cook for you.
Thanks for this very helpful video! My sink was doing exact same thing and this fixed it. Saved a visit from the plumber.
Thank you! You are a fantastic teacher - clear and to the point.
Tytytyty so much for posting this video. You'd think it would be common sense, but it's so daunting to know what to do when problems go awry! You saved the day for me! I can't wait to watch other videos!
Your video was short, simple and to the point. Plus it works! Thanks so much!
Man .. many thanks for the video. I have checked that the blades weren’t jammed but o didn’t know what to do next. I removed the pipe under the sink, which was quite easy and removed all the rice out. Many thanks
Thank you so much, this solved the problem in under 30mins, we had a big piece of solidified oil. Saved me $250 -$300 dollars.
Thank you so much! This video made it so easy to understand and seem less intimidating. I was able to follow your instructions and unclog my disposal. 🎉❤
Great tip! You could try a plumber first before going this route and that may loosen up the clog. Thank you for helping out people.
Thank you soo much sir, especially for the heads up about the nasty sink water gushing out. I had my bowl prepared this was a quick and easy fix
Thank you. Single mom here and this explained it perfectly. Sink is working again.
Thank you so much for your help!!! $38 and about 2 hours and it works great. I felt very empowered. Perfect!
Used this video this morning! Thanks for the help. I now have a functioning garbage disposal drain :)
Awesome. This describes my problem exactly. Blade won't turn but i don't have an allen wrench. Main issue is i put next to nothing in the disposal and it's clogged on that one side as you showed. Going to try this and hopefully that's an easy fix. Thanks so much for this easy and detailed tutorial.
This was my exact issue and your video saved me a call to the plumber! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Disconnected everything twice, thought the problem was AFTER the U pipe until I saw your video and learned about the divider.
Haha I love this video. I can't believe I can also be a plumber as I was able to fixed our clogged garbage disposal. My husband can't believe I was able to fixed it. Thx Sam.
