When your garbage disposal hums without spinning, it means the motor is receiving electricity but the flywheel is physically jammed. Step 1: Turn off the wall switch and unplug the disposal for safety. Step 2: Insert a 1/4-inch hex wrench into the center socket on the bottom of the motor housing and rotate it back and forth to dislodge the jam. Step 3: Remove any foreign objects from the grinding chamber using tongs. Step 4: Press the red reset button underneath the unit. Verification: Plug the disposal back in, turn on cold water, and flip the switch to confirm normal grinding operation.
