To fix and reset a jammed Moen garbage disposal, follow a safe step-by-step procedure. Callout type="warning" title="Electrical Safety Warning": Unplug the disposal or turn off the wall circuit breaker before touching internal parts. Insert the specialized hex wrench (or a 1/4-inch allen wrench) into the hex socket hole located in the exact center of the bottom motor housing. Rock the wrench back and forth forcefully to dislodge trapped food waste or foreign objects until the flywheel spins freely in a complete circle. Afterward, press the red thermal overload reset button located on the bottom exterior casing. Verification: Plug the unit back in, turn on cold water, and flip the wall switch to confirm smooth motor rotation.
