I can hear it getting juice as it hums. I already used the allen wrench and made sure the unit it turning and not jammed and it is is fine. So...is she shot???

When getting juice I usually hum if I don't know the words!


Sure sounds like its shot.

Make sure you move the wrench back and forth and definitely counter clockwise. Look inside with a flashlight. Turn off the power and feel with your hand. If it turns easily and nothing is inside, time to open the wallet!

Yup.

Insinkerator? Some of those had a problem with the liner inside the grinding chamber leaking water into the motor, causing what you describe.

Luckily, as long as you get a basic model, they're relatively cheap and an easy swap out.

Our last one corroded through and was leaking water out the side. Kinda weird.

An Insinkerator it is. OK...looks like it is not all the difficult to replace. Thanks for the confirmation. Guess I have a project for the weekend

It shouldn't take very long, I did mine in about 30 Mins.

Hey, what's a weekend without a 'HoneyDo' list?

New garbage disposal installed. Same model, $90 and took all of 20 minutes

Now that would never happen at my house, a project that went according to plan. Plumbing especially, I ALWAYS end up with a second trip to the store for some fitting I don't have.

It helps when you are just swapping out the exact same model.

and you have a clue.....

What are you trying to say.....

Yeah what are you saying MD!? Sounds like your implying he can't do the job if it was the same model or any model for argument sake! I am I reading that wrong MD?

ours went kaput last night......


its always somethin

and yes boys, I think that you both were reading that comment from MD wrong, I didnt get the implication that he was slamming anyone...
