Believe it or not, I can't even figure out how to get that black
rubber splash guard thing out so I can at least look in there to see
if I can see what's wrong.


There is a hex socket for a large hex ranch right in the bottom
center of the disposal. Insert the hex wrench that fits and turn and
you will have 'fixed' the problem.


Well, if we're into guessing games, I'll play too.

Before resorting to complex tools like hex wrenches,
look for a reset button on the side or base of the
unit. Press it. Try running the disposal...
