How do you repair your garbage disposal The motor just hums It will not spin?

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.


Why does garbage disposal hum but not run?

Either something is jammed in the blades or it is rusted. On the bottom of the disposal, there is a hex shaped hole in the center that you can use the key that came with the disposal if it is under the sink or a regular hex key. Wiggle it back and forth and sometimes it will dislodge what is stuck in the blade. Another way is to use a wooden broom handle to pry the blades loose. Put the handle into the disposal and against the blade and pry against the lip of the hole. Try in both directions and usually this will free up the blade. If there is something in there, take it out before using the disposal, don't try to grind it up.


Does it help if you apply oil to a rusted pipe?

No it does not. If one can afford to do so. Get the pipe replaced. Putting oil on it could make the metal supple causing it to burst.

Cause and effect of the garbage disposal?

I can't tell much from your question but I'm assuming it is stuck. If that is the case, there is a bolt on the bottom that you can turn to break it free. Make sur it is turned off first and check with a flashlight to be sure you don't have a spoon or something jambed in there. Then try to release it with the bolt on the bottom. It shouldn't take much of a pull on the wrench to get it freed up.
