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.

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.
