Follow these steps to clear a jammed garbage disposal:
Turn Off Power & water: Make sure the disposal is switched off to avoid any accidents.
Use the Reset Button: Locate the reset button on the disposal and press it.
Check for Foreign Objects: Look inside the disposal for any foreign objects causing the jam.
Turn off the room’s electrical supply: For that go to the fuse box in your home. It is usually on the bottom floor or in the basement.
Use the Allen Wrench: Inset an Allen Wrench into the bottom of the disposal and turn it manually to free the impellers.
Rotate the Blades: Insert a wooden or plastic utensil into the disposal and rotate the blades to dislodge any debris.
If those steps do not resolve the work, or if you’re uncomfortable handling it, it’s advisable to consult a professional local plumber to prevent further damage.
