    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! 👌

    Great video......to the point, not over explaining, show everything on camera, and less than 10 minute video (I know some things will take longer, but not for a garbage disposal)! I appreciate that, and you helped me save money! Thank you, subscribed!

    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 so much for your time and advise. I was able to open and take out the screw 😂 caused dish washer to flood as well. All well now. Reetriated "again" to everyone at home to not remove kitchen sink strainer.

  • @corneliusdozier7253
    @corneliusdozier7253 Před 4 lety +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 Před 4 lety +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!

  • @TheSanibelRealtor
    @TheSanibelRealtor Před 3 lety

    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.

  • @motivationalcrossings

    Thanks Sam, I boiled some hot water, poured baking Soda and white Vinegar down the drain then the hot water, three different times within 24 hours to get the grime loosen then I did exactly what you said!! Thank you so much!

  • @butterflygirlallsmiles4702

    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!!
