But the disposal will probably fail soon because it is missing a screw.

Last night the disposal jammed up solid. I couldn't budge it either
direction with the hex key.

I got the flashlight and saw, of all things, a sheet metal screw was
jammed between the bottom and side of the chamber.

Luckily, the head was pointed right at me, and I was literally able to
unscrew it with a screwdriver.

I love easy fixes.
