Video: Dealing With a Broken Garbage Disposal

Frequently we get calls about garbage disposals not working jammed or making a humming sound. It's usually a pretty simple fix that you won't need to call a plumber for, so a helpful tip would be to go underneath the kitchen sink down here. Underneath the garbage disposal there's usually a red button that's either popped that you can just push back in or there's a tool that comes with your garbage disposal that a plumber should leave after it was installed that you can use to rotate the blades and that actually will unjam the garbage disposal and free up whatever it is that's in there. So remember when it comes to garbage disposal, it's usually a pretty simple fix.
