garbage disposal
 

dumped some peanut butter down the drain. now it makes a humming sound and no grinding sound. i did the flywheel thing with the allen wrench. it spins manually, but no motion when you turn it on. still humms.

any tips. or just buy another one.

my roommate has put much worse things than peanut butter down the drain.

how old?

came with the house. looks ancient though.

throw some boiling water in there

Ice cubes/////

I would say it is junk if it is spinning free and just hums
I just replaced mine and the same thing happened
I bet it wasn't the peanut butter that did it, it was just it's time to die
your lucky to get five years out of one now a days

Exactly my opinion.

replace it. The stainless steel ones at the balls, and get the 1 hp. You can throw friggin anything in it

thanks guys. i got it working again by filling up the basin with hot water and flushing it down. but i might just buy a 1 HP one this summer.

buy it now
 

if you wait
the difference in price
will equal a new plug.
install it in late fall
before t-day
