The motor won't turn if there is a slight jam, you want to get it freed up

Now, it's turning 360 degree and I made several turns before turning
the switch on (removed the wrench every time I turned on the switch).

There was some water in the sink already but I truned the water on
when I ran the disposable. I could hear the unit working with the
nosie sounding like it's grinding rice. But I dodn't see the stuff
going down, not even water thought he water became clody with ground
rice mixing in water.

I didn't know how long I should let the motor run when things are not
going down and so stopped it and tried again but not for very long.

Is it plunger time now? Since I don't have a sink plunger, should I



I meant to say that if you have a vent from the dishwasher on the
sink (a silver cap with some holes in it) a plunger won't
work.

No wonder when I was using a plunger, I didn't feel like it was doing
anything. I have that vent ith a silver cap.

Maybe if
you could also plug the vent, but that doesn't seeem especially easy
to do.
How about very strong mailing tape?


just keep turning the motor on and off? Or would it be safer to go get
the plunger? Home Depot is less than 5 mins away to drive with no
highway involved.

See my other post and wait until the rice softens up. (It will, won't
it, even if the water isn't hot.

I guess, all I can do now is wait.
