Thanks to everyone for taking the time to write their tips, especially the person who wrote about the "safety" and the red button, as now I knew what I was trying to do! I was able to revive my garbage disposal myself this morning! I used the allen wrench.

YAY!!! I tried the plunger trick and that didnt work for me...So I searched for an allen wrench and fixed it my parents garbage disposal!!! This may mean nothing to anyone else, but I knew nothing about garbage disposals previously. Im very pleased with myself. :)

You rock! I couldn't find my allen wrench and going to buy one would have required me to pack up my kids and run out...but I tried the plunger handle and I'm back in business!

Thank you!! After 3 frustrating days with a jammed garbage disposal and no idea how to get the cherry pit out, and not wanting to call a plumber who would probably want me to buy a new disposal, I fixed it myself in 3-4 minutes! Yipppeeee....

I figure I saved about $200 by buying the wrench for $5. It worked like a charm after spending a day with a stuck, humming disposal. Hubby was pretty impressed!

fixed my problem! What was stuck in there was degerated black plastic from the "strainer" opening. Took me two tries with the allen wrench...I am a 64 yr old biddy & trophy no more!

on 1/16/2010 The plunger handle did the trick. I barely spun the blades and that's all it took to fix it.

on 7/24/2009 This worked great! It did take a couple of tries, but it works now and my husband knows how to do it. Thank you.

on 7/15/2009 Worked like a charm. Seemed too easy to actually work, but it did.
