Hey I just wanted to thank you for helping me around my house my dad past away a little bit ago. leaving me “the man of the house.” As my mom calls me to help around the house so when things started to stop working around my house she started to ask me to help. Me being 11 didn’t know how to fix these things so I simply looked it up and then I found you on TH-cam.I know this might seem a little much for you just helping me fix a.......what ever it’s called but thank you for really making it easy for me when things break.😊
You are an amazing kid for helping your mother out. Especially at 11. Keep being such a great example to the rest of us.
@Cyrus Kane nice to know
You're doing a great job helping your Mom it's hard keeping up with household things that break ❤❤
Absolutely doing just fine, MAN, keep up the good work! And thanks for the video!
Really? Your mom calls you to come over and work on her sink at 11? Really? Not knocking you if its tru then props to you.
What this video did for my sink is one thing. What it did to boost my confidence is another. Thanks! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Haha so true.
Yes. This sure did boost confidence. It worked for me after the manual turns with the tool. Thanks for this video.
frrr i had a smile on my face the rest of the day 😂
Lol facts
Lol ya true
I’m taking care of my sister that has cancer right now. I’m her bigger brother, but our disposal hasn’t been working for a week and we tried some stuff like CLR and whatnot but I was able to fix it myself. A piece of porcelain was stuck in the edge not letting it spin. I’m so proud of myself, I immediately called my dad and told him that I fixed my very first household problem by myself (humbly with your guidance of course) and he was proud. Thank you for this upload and thanks for making it easy and clear, quality video and audio.
The reason I said all of that is because those video is important for people that need it.
I can’t call a plumber right now. I need to be able to do shit myself and become a protector of my sister as a man now, not just as a brother.
And this felt good man. One notch under my belt…
And it felt so good I fuckin want more notches bro.
This really changed my life in a small way that in 5 years from now, after the new things I learn, this video will have been the thing that started the enormous change the next years will bring.
Just so crazy how life works man…
This is so clearly AND concisely explained. Only the essentials, no beating around the bush. Thanks!
Thank you. I never did anything around the house myself. This was a gem. More than that you did not start from "who invented the disposal" and all that. I hate videos when what could be 4 minutes is stretched to 15. Thank you so very much.
I hate it when someone (usually a lady) fixes something on video in 5 minutes, and 2 hours later I am trying to call friends to help me put something back together.
right on
Wow! 71 year old gal here. Disposal was humming, couldn't fix despite baking soda/vinegar etc. Finally I saw this video, found the wrench and dislodged the jam! Service call avoided -- thank you!!!!
Worked like a charm ! Our disposal was broke for a month 😅 . This two min repair blew our minds ! We are new to home rentals and you saved us a plumber bill ! God bless you !
I just want to say thank you. My son broke the garbage disposal and I really didn't want to call my dad. This video helped me fix it and I feel amazing about myself. Thankyou💜
You are awesome.
After I watched this video and fixed my disposal my wife allowed me to do things to her that were dirtier than the S trap. Thank you!
Same reason I'm here bro
I’m ready for this result.
My man
😂😂😂
win win i guess😂
i’m a young adult and living alone and this legit saved me. my garbage disposal was backed up and now :’) ITS WORKING!! thank you
As a single parent, I play all the roles. My mother taught me how to fix things, and I learned how to fix cars, and build thanks to my theater background, but we didn’t have a garbage disposal. I’m very glad I found your video to help me fix it all by myself 😊thank you 🙏
3 years later & you’re still saving people money!! Thank you so much!! I was so close to calling a plumber & spending at least $50 to diagnose it. This video is still very relevant & the old Allen wrench did the trick! I am so grateful!! 🤗
Thank you for your thorough and very clear explanation of how to diagnose and fix this problem. Took me roughly 20 minutes to take mine apart, clean it out and remount and test it. Brilliant!
Thanks for showing several “fix-it” options before the full disassemble. The video and steps were easy to follow. This was incredibly helpful and helped solve the issue I was dealing with. *MEGA THANKS*
I heard the buzz...I saw nothing in the disposal. I unplugged and put my hand in there...nothing. Used a knife...nada. The screwdriver along the metal connector was what I wouldn't have figured out initially. After disconnecting, I took my phone's light and could see better. Lo and behold, my wife cleans the fish tanks and leaves little rocks in the disposal. I needed needle nose pliers like you to dislodge. After reassembly, I was good. Thanks for saving me some dough today!
I’m so grateful for people like you who take the time to post videos like this. Thank you!!!!! ♥️
Chill bro chill I get what you mean bro
Great video! No fluff at the beginning, just simple sequential instructions. Fixed my disposal in 15 minutes after watching it.
Great troubleshooting advice. Went from easiest to most difficult fixes. Fixed my garbage disposal by using my allen wrench and manually rotating the motor and dislodged whatever was blocking it. Glad I didn't have to remove any pipes and the whole mechanism.
omg thank you SO SO SO MUCH! I live alone and i really didnt want to have a stranger in my house to help me fix this. I got it back up and running in less than 5 minutes! Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you! Another notch under my belt! So easy and enjoyable to watch! I had it fixed in less than 5 minutes! 😊
This is a wonderful video. My husband and I are not a "fix it" couple. But, with your to the point video we fixed our disposal. The most difficult part was to put the pipes back together. Everything else was exactly as you said. You saved $$$$ for sure. Thank you!
This is incredible, I can't believe I fixed our garbage disposal. I saved some money by finding your video & gained some confidence. Your steps were easy to follow. My issue turned out to be a washer, lol. Thank you!
Thank you soooooooooo much for this video. I'm often intimidated by home repairs but want to do the jobs myself and save money. This video/lesson has given me the confidence I needed (and need) to tackle these projects myself. Thank you!
Your video helped me discover that it was simple rust/corrosion that had stopped my reallly old disposal from turning. Spraying Lime Away & letting it sit a few minutes while I rotated with an allen key got it turning. Once it powered on, I fed ice cubes, then ran water, which loosened even more corrosion I never realized was down there. Works like new. Will use ice cubes more often to clean & keep corrosion at bay. Many thanks from this handyman housewife!
Great video. Quick and to the point. Took me 10 minutes to disassemble and reassemble start to finish because of you! Thanks!
Many, many thanks my friend. I was trying for hours, unsuccessfully, to fix this. I didn't need to remove the unit thankfully as the first option worked. I was so happy I wanted it to stop working again just so I could fix it all over again!! Thank you...
I'm a recent homeowner, and there are many little things that needs fixing. I was about to leave to to the store to replace the disposal. I found your video and fixed my disposal for free. Something was stuck like yours's. Removed it and it works like new again. I can't thank you enough.
I have been waiting for my husband to fix my garbage disposal for a long time, and after watching this video I was able to fix it my self 😌 thanks to thus wonderful man who posted this video 📹 God bless you man! ❤️
Great video, My mom and I fixed it within 2 minutes, it was just 1 turn with the wrench that fixed it! Thanks so much!
Perfectly explained. Step by step was easy to follow, and I solved my issue! An entire nail in the disposal! Thanks my man!
Screaming. Thanks to your video I was able to fix my disposal that has been down for months. I checked each hole and found I had a chunk of glass stuck in one of the holes. Thank you!!!!!!!!
The exact same thing happened to me after having a window installed in our kitchen. This video saved me about $200 in repairs. Thank you!!
Such a easy to watch video; literally the same thing that happened to your disposal happened to ours! Thanks for uploading!!
Lol. I pressed the reset button. Decided that I need TH-cam. After watching this video, I decided to skip all the steps and just reached in and found the screw that fell in and was jamming it. Guess I better find me an Allen wrench that fits so I can do all the middle steps so it can work again.
I had replaced my disposal a few years ago due to a frozen motor. This time instead of replacing it I followed this video to the letter. Sure enough I also had a small screw wedged in exactly the same spot. Works fine now and took the opportunity to clean thoroughly inside and out. Save me $100-150 in parts and I’m guessing about the same in labor. Took me about 25 minutes and cost NOTHING!!! Thank you
Great video! Solved my problem after disassemble. Reassemble was difficult lifting and turning at the same time. I ended up using my car jack to get it in place. Worked perfectly if anyone else struggled with that. Thanks man!
This video was on the money!. I followed your tutorial and it turned out i had a screw stuck in my disposal too. It took a bit of finesse, but i was able to get the screw dislodged and we're back in business. Thank you!
This was great! Fixed my disposal while my husband was out of town thanks to you! Thank you!
Me too!! Great video
Me three!!
Four
Christmas Day house full of guest and my disposal is humming it's own melody. In short, you saved the day-a great tutorial on troubleshooting and repairing.
Same!
Thank you Sir. I only got to the wrenching section and it was fixed, something was jamming it.
This is the best video on how to fix your garbage disposal unit. What I love about it is the instructions are clear and to the point. I had the exact same problem and fixed the disposal the exact same way. All you need is a screwdriver and about 10 -15 minutes and you can fix your disposal yourself. No plumber or maintenance man needed! Thank you for such a helpful video!
Thank you! Great video, clear instructions, straight to the point, helpful! No fluff, no wasted time. I appreciate that!
Thank you ... after using the 1/4" allen wrench to loosen the stuckness I fished out lots of bits with a magnet ...
Thank you for that I was trying to find the proper allen wrench size
Thank you! I live alone and prefer to not have maintenance come in. I did this all alone and even broke a sweat but I did it:) Awesome video!
Thank you so much! This video is succinct, clear, and helped me so much! I had a "chain-mail" type of dish scrubber that unknown to me to had fallen into my garbage disposal. I though it was just ice because it happened after I had some guests over. Well it wasn't ice, and it started coming apart in my disposal and small bits of metal got jammed in the teeth. I thought I was going to have to call a plumber, or buy a whole new disposal, but this video taught me differently and I'm so pleased. Thank you!
Thank you man.
No disassembly needed in my case ; felt around and also saw it.
Used a cell-phone light to see inside.
Put latex gloves on, felt around, and found a tightly balled up 1/4" piece of tin-foil jammed;
just like that screw you found.
Used a long needle-nose plier to pull it out.
It was surprisingly hard to pull out.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for a simple to follow video. Found a childrens toy wedge in there and now it is working perfectly again.
Great video! Knowing very little about home repairs, I was so frustrated and upset by my disposal that I was ready to pay a repair man to come out. But watching your video gave me the knowledge and confidence to tackle it. Turns out it wasn't so bad at all! Thanks so much. Seems like a simple thing to you, I'm sure, but this kind of video genuinely helps people.
Awesome video! Fixed my disposal in 60 seconds thanks to this. In my case, the "screw" was two tiny pieces of glass from a broken tumbler that got jammed up in the works.
Fortunately, spinning the gear underneath dislodged them without having to remove the unit.
Thanks so MUCH! I feel like a pro! :)
Your video was just the perfect solution for my stuck disposal today. I followed your steps found the culprit screw. It was jam-stuck and locked in. Thankfully I could reach it with the screw driver to unscrew at an angle to get out out. You made my day. Thanks!!!
I feel like much more of a man after watching this video and actually being able to fix my garbage disposal. Thanks!
me too
Bro, you're a hero! Just took mine apart, and it had a screw in it too! Dunno why or how it got in there, but I'm saved now xD
Exactly what mine had. Luckily my wife has small hands and was able to reach in there and get all the food out and we saw the screw right there without having to take it all apart.
What a relief.
My guy! You just helped me fixed my disposal. The grooves that allows the flywheel to spin seen in 3:23 were just COMPLETELY covered in gunk and as such the flywheel wouldn’t budge. Cleared all the gunk and was then able to spin the flywheel with an Allen wrench! Reconnected everything and it roared like a champ!
Wow. I was going to ask my dad to come over and help with the disposal, but took a look at this video and was able to fix it myself. Really appreciate it. Thank you!
I am so glad I found this video!! It is a rare event when I fix something myself but your explanation and solution worked to perfection. Note to world: unpopped popcorn kernels are bad your teeth and garbage disposals. Thanks much for your virtual repair assist. 😁
That was perfect, thank you. Five minutes and it was running again. Just moved into our home and this happened so it was a relief to be able to repair it and not call the plumber. Bravo to you and nicely videoed for easy understanding.
Same thing with me, I truly appreciate this video.
Great video. I followed your instructions and fixed my disposal in 5 minutes. All I needed to do was turn the motor with the allen wrench. I used vice grips to hold onto the allen wrench and at first it was stuck going one direction, but going the other direction immediately dislodged whatever was stopping it from turning. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! My disposal was humming and after following your directions (and my son's help), we found a screw in the disposal just like you! We didn't waste any time removing it because of your tip to use needle nose pliers. Thank you very much for the help!
This video gave me everything I needed to fix my disposal from start to finish, awesome job! That deserves a subscription 👍🏽👏
Checking this when I get home from work tonight!
Perfect! Once I unplugged the disposal and cranked it with an Allen wrench, I was able to free it..took about 5 minutes to go through the steps recommended and I didn't have to disassemble it. Thank you!
I picked this video because it was under 5 minutes with steps. You’re a life saver my guy. Thank you so much. Bless you and your loved ones.
Thank you for the nice comment, Leona. I appreciate it.
This video just helped me fix my garbage disposal. It was explained so well that even a woman like myself (who doesn’t care to do dirty work around the house) was able to fix it so easily! Thank you so much
Wow it worked for me too and i got the same treatment 😂
Just wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate your time for showing countless people repair their garbage disposal, including myself! I'm glad that you're saving people countless dollars and time calling in some handy man or who ever. Minimal time and tools!!! Thanks a million
Really appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching.
All I can say is wow!! I hadn't run my disposal for about a year (been helping at my parents house) so I decided to run it the other day and then run my dishwasher. All I had was the humming sound. Tried another outlet but that did not work (the dishwasher outlet was working fine). Was about to call a plumber or electrician and came across this video. Pushed reset and no luck. Found wrench to fit the motor hole and tried to turn but wouldn't move. Tried a little more and it broke loose. Plugged back in and hit reset again. Disposal runs like a top. Thank you so much for this video. Saved me at least a $75 service call. This is the first video that I have ever used where the suggestions actually worked. I am glad I did not have to get to the removal stage. Every time I mess with plumbing it always leaks when I put it back together.
I was exploring new models at HD and Lowes before I ran into your instructions. Took me to the 2nd step to fix. Thank you very much!
Thank you for this video. I am confident I can fix my disposal now!
Awesome. Thanks for the comment. Happy to help out.
Very clear and straight to the point, as others have stated. I was able to fix mine in a matter of minutes. Thank you!
Thank you!!! You just saved me a few hundred dollars. I used the Food Waste Disposal allen wrench to turn the motor. I could feel that something was blocking it. I turned it a few time, reconnected the power, and it's working:-) No need to take it apart. Thanks again
Super helpful, Exactly same issue. Estimation from Local store when I called them, to replace it + installation charges. After watching this Video, invested hardly 30 mins and fixed FREE OF COST. God Bless You Bro…
This helped SO much you earned yourself a new subscriber 😊
You’re a lifesaver. I just had to turn with the Allen wrench one good time and bam it worked! Hubs had already called someone to come fix he’s a lazy man. 😂
Maybe he should just pay me or you instead. 😂 have a wonderful day will be subscribing to your channel.
Thanks for the help. Couldn't find anything wrong and then looked in the creases where you found your screw. A tip of a knife blade was broken loose and lodged. Used your tips to free it!
This was awesome! We got a wash rag stuck in the disposal and watching this video fixed my issue in less than 5 minutes!
Lol .05 sec in to the video, i swear that had a "napoleon dynamite" feel with the camera lookin up and down like that lol
This was perfect!!!! I just fixed my disposal thank you for everything!!!!
Thanks! Happy to help out!
Yep! That did the trick. Didn't even have to disassemble it. Just spent sometime rotating the bottom with the allen wrench, and that did the trick. Thanks a bunch!!
Thanks for the step by step guide!! I was able to get my disposal to start working after taking it apart and getting a bunch of glass shards out!
This saved me hundreds of $ from calling a plumber! Thank you!!
ThaNK you. My obstruction was a short trumpet mouthpiece brush, caught the same way as your screw. I was able to use the allen wrench to rotate the spinner thing, and needle nose pliers to pull it out, all in one piece. It did not have to disassemble the thing. No leaks. Works OK. Thank you again !!! --AS
This is the right way to make a TH-cam video!!! Clear, Safe, Successful video! Worked like a charm and saved me $75.00 service fee on my Home owner’s Warranty!
Thank you!
Thank you very much! My son broke a glass cup and swept it all in the disposal so it was not working at all. I'm the least handiest guy on this planet, but thanks to your step by step instructions I was able to get it taken off, cleaned out and cleared all the glass & back up and running. You saved me who knows how much money! A thousand thanks!
Thank you-I stuck my hand in disposal and checked around the edges and a small piece of glass was wedged (son broke glass washing dishes). Was able to stick screw driver and push it out. Saved me time without having to remove-Thanks again!
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for the video. This is exactly what happened with mine. Some kinda broken plastic chunk was stuck in the grinder. I had gone through all the other steps and was sure I was gonna have to just replace before I stumbled across this video. I looked down from the top with a flashlight, used a sharp knife to poke around the edges and sure enough there was the jam. I DO need some new, longer needle nose pliers though! I felt like I was playing that old board game OPERATION for a few mins. Thanks again!
This was incredibly helpful. The ironic thing is I have your same cabinets and handles, same counter top, and found a screw in my disposal! It was an exact fit! Thanks again.
Thanks- basic and to the point. I had never heard of the allen wrench fix before, but it got the disposal working in two minutes. Thx!
This video is great if you are needing to figure out why it is not fixing and getting it working again. I was looking in the wrong places for items trapped and this video helped me find the problem area. Thank you for this video!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I had a scrubber that somehow got jammed underneath the disposal blades, and I could not dislodge it manually while it was still attached to the sink. I had to remove the disposal completely to properly get in there and remove it. But I fixed it- thanks to YOU!! And it was super easy! Your steps were concise, detailed, and simple to follow. Thank you so much! You’re a blessing! ❤
Thank you for this video. I just fixed my Garbage disposal with the allen wrench. I rotated it like your video said to do and something was blocking it. Now it works just fine. 👍
Thank you! Used your video 2x now. First use dislodged a dime stuck between impeller and shredded housing. Second use about an hour ago. Removed a water distribution experiment the kids “accidentally” dumped in kitchen sink. Many very tiny pebbles. Alas, disposal cleared and young teen learning opportunity.
Went to turn on the garbage disposal and got the humming sound!
Thanks to this video I was able to fix.
My culprit was a soda can tab!
Will be checking out your other videos - good stuff!
Thank you for the instructions. We had to replace outs (plastic bag bound the whole thing up and we found a crack) and this was a HUGE help!
this comment section more than said what i needed too, i think we all learned something here at some point in time so goddamn thank you and keep doing the lords work!
This was a great video. In my case I had an olive seed lodged under one of those motors preventing it from rotating. Gave it a good clean and it’s working perfectly. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Fixing my disposal was surprisingly easy and it only took a few minutes since I didn't have to go through all of the steps.
The 1/4" allen wrench from underneath solved the problem. Got it to turn and clear whatever was keeping the wheel from spinning. 5 minute fix. Thanks.
You saved my life on Thanksgiving Day! I had to wash a lot of dishes! It was so heavy and hard to lift the disposal and turn it at the same time by myself. I just put a lot of books under the disposal to make it reach the right height, then, I turned it easily. Thank you!
Another success story here! I don’t know what jammed it, but I was able to clear it with the 1/4” hex wrench, whatever was stuck seems to have flushed out. Thanks!!
I just tried your method using your video.it worked .thank you so much.I was already worried about the cost of hiring a plumber.THANK YOU
Wanted to say thank you! I know its a one year old video but you saved me a $100. My switch was reset and something was definitely clogged, had to do the key and it worked. Ran it, and a piece of a knife was inside, pulled it out and it works. Didn’t know you can manually rotate it or even has a reset button. Lol 😅
Very useful video as he explained step by step to fix the issue. It’s a big
relax to every household to solve the issue by themselves with the help of this great gentleman. Thanks!!
YES!!! So helpful. I’m so thankful for this video. I am up and working again and didn’t have to dissemble my garbage disposal. Thank you!!
