My insinkerator wont run at all
I can flip the switch on my InSinkErator and it doesn't make a sound. I can smell the motor under the sink if I let it run for a second so its trying to run but isn't. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Hi, W/D here.
Your disposer is jammed. Locate the wrench that is with the disposer. Mine is in the flip out tray under the sink. It should look like an allen wrench. You can see what the wrench needs to look like by opening your cabinet, and looking at the very bottom of the disposer. Insert your wrench into the socket, and move it forwards and backwards until you free the jam. Then, run a pot of water and ice through the disposer (with it running) to further clean it out.
Best regards,
