problem with in-sink aera

[thurston ackerman]

Use a long wooden spoon to try to spin the impeller in the bottom to see if a small spoon, etc., may have become stuck between it and the shell. If you are lucky, remove the object with a dual salad spoon.

(If not that lucky, watch for a sale for a replacement 8-)

Ciao, Ack.

You need the right size allen wrench which usually comes with the disposal and at the very bottom of the unit in the middle you use the wrench to manually turn the unit with the unit OFF and hopefully unjam the unit and remove the offending obstruction or break it into small pieces so it won't be jammed any longer.
