Default question on my disposable

When you go to HD, have them show you the bottom of a display unit, so you
can see what your looking, or feeling for. The units probably all use the
same size Allen wrench


I have a few tools in a box and I happened to find one which looks
like Allen wrench - it's not quite L shape but more like a small
letter f w/ the bottom having a tail and w/o the "-" in the midle of
"f". It does fit the wole perfectly but I didn't turn because I
didn't know which way to turn? Do I turn clock-wise or counter clock-
wise?

There may be an Allen wrench tool that came with the unit.

I would know where it is. The first and previous person living here,
my brother was a sloppy people).


If you feel in
the dead center of the bottom of the unit, there is the hole that it fits
into.


I'll have to figure out what the dead center is


Insert it or any Allen wrench that fits, turn it until the unit spins
freely,


Will try. It seems liek I have to make a trip to home depot for the
tools.


then run the unit and wash the debris down

Ok. Will report the update.

I tried to put a bunch of brown rice (uncooked) in the disposable -
because there were some bugs and I didn't want the bugsfluing out of
the trash - and the next thing I knew, the disposable stopped. I
turned it off, and pressed the rest button after I removed the rice as
much as I could but some are still in the disposable. Upon turning on
the disposable, I can hear the
sound like "wuuuuuuuu...." but it's not taking down the water. I
wonder whether the disposable is not turnign becauise it's congested.
What should I try before calling plunbing?


Last time I called the plumbing, all they did was remove that little
tiny fork (for cocktail shrip) and press reset button but I still had
to pay $45. So I'd liek to try myself if anyone can guide me before I
get the plumbing.


Should I use a plunger? If so, I will have to go get a sink plunger.
But I am wondering whether the plunger might damage the disposable's
grinding unit which I think is congested right now I'll go try getting
more rice out.- Hide quoted text -
