I just fixed two garbage disposals in my apartment building by using your troubleshooting suggestions!!! Thank you very much you not only saved me money but made my tenants less crabby because of stinky sinks.
I have the stuck flywheel that hums when turned on but the suggestions did not resolve the problem. What is the next step? Besides calling a plumber, that is.
Thanks saved me 99 bucks. Great post
Very helpful and fixed the problem of stuck flywheel but now much louder than before and I am wondering if that is another problem. Thanks again for your helpful column.
