It probably just has something jammed in it. In the center of the motor on the bottom, there is a place for a hex key so that you can turn the motor by hand. A tool was supplied with the disposal and may be under the sink somewhere. Second better option. Use a wooden broom handle in the top to unjam it. Use the opening of the disposal as the pivot point and pry the blades around to dislodge whatever is stuck in it. It may be that the disposal is old enough that the motor has rusted. In which case it needs to be replaced.

If it only hums, the motor isn't able to rotate. First disconnect the driveshaft and try to run the motor. If it runs, the pump is bound up/clogged. If the motor continues to hum, the bearing is shot. Repair or replace motor. Good luck.

Turn the switch OFF and look below the centre of the garburator. There is an Allen socket in the middle of the motor shaft, fit an Allen wrench (often 3/16 or 1/4 ) into it and turn as water runs through it. Hopefully this will dislodge the obstruction. After removing your Allen wrench turn switch on to test it.
When garbage disposer is turned on it hums and does not spin but if a stick is used to make it spin it then spins what is wrong?

Motor hums but fan doesn't run?
If the motor hums but the fan doesn't run, it may indicate a problem with the fan blades being obstructed, a faulty capacitor, or an issue with the motor itself, such as a short circuit. Check for any debris blocking the fan blades and ensure they can spin freely. If the blades are clear, the capacitor may need to be replaced, or the motor might require servicing or replacement. It's advisable to consult a professional technician for a thorough diagnosis and repair.

If a motor hums but does not start what is wrong?
If a motor hums but does not start, it could indicate a few potential issues. One common cause is that the motor is jammed or obstructed, preventing it from turning. Another possibility is that the capacitor is faulty or the electrical supply is inadequate, leading to insufficient torque to start the motor. Additionally, a malfunctioning start switch or relay could also be preventing the motor from engaging properly.
How do you repair a 1998 Firebird power window that is stuck about have way up and the motor just hums?
The F-body motor is notorious for dying. The replacement costs about $50 from an auto parts store and will probably take an afternoon for a first timer. Remove the door panel and take a drill to open up holes in front of the rivets on the motor. Procede to drill out the old motor then replace it with your new one and screw it in. First you want to get the window up, if you can. If the motor actually hums, then press the button while pulling the window up, if you cannot get it up, then you are going to have to be extra careful not to harm the glass while taking the door apart and replacing the motor.
