When a garbage disposal in a double sink setup refuses to drain, first turn off the wall switch and check inside the grinding chamber with a flashlight for foreign objects or heavy food blockages. Use tongs or pliers to remove debris—never your bare fingers. If the unit hums but does not spin, insert an Allen wrench into the hexagonal socket underneath the motor housing and crank it back and forth manually to free jammed impellers. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Never place your bare hands inside a garbage disposal chamber. Verification: Press the red reset button underneath the unit and test the disposal with running water.
