If your garbage disposal unjamming wrench or key refuses to turn when inserted into the bottom motor socket, it means the internal flywheel is locked tightly by a severe mechanical jam, compressed debris, or severe rust corrosion. Do not force the wrench with excessive physical leverage, as you can snap the hex socket or bend the motor shaft. Callout type="warning" title="Safety Warning": Ensure power is disconnected. Try rocking the wrench gently in alternating directions, or use long-handled tongs from above to dislodge jammed food waste from the impellers. Verification: Continue gentle rocking until the hex wrench rotates smoothly in a full circle.
