A screw is stuck in your garbage disposal?

There should be a hole on the bottom of the disposal unit that an Allen wrench fits into. They are the ones that look like the letter "L". Insert the Allen wrench into the disposal unit and work back and forth until the motor breaks free. Then with a flashlight and patience you will need to fish the screw out.

How do you know if your garbage disposal is broken?

It it stops unexpectedly look under it. Many have a red re-set button. Push it in and see if it starts. If not, switch it off and insert an Allen wrench in the centre of axle shaft underneath (3/16 or 1/4 Allen) and turn the key back and forward to loosen possible obstructions. Pull the wrench out and switch it on again. If it doesn't start after that, it's dead.
