The first thing I need to know is what she's putting in it when it's most
likely to clog. There are certain foods that are amazingly good at
clogging
drains. Get that information from her and we'll go from there.

I got the answer. She's not trying to put anything in it at all;
she's just trying to live with it. When the disposal unit jams it's a
problem because the sink won't drain.

The last time it jammed (yesterday morning) she found a coffee bean
and a tiny bit of plastic tubing in it. She has no idea what the
tubing was from or how it got in there. Perhaps it had been there a
long time.

She has purchased a drain strainer proptect the disposal unit's
delicate innards, but the last jam occurred before she had a chance to
put it in the drain.


The innards aren't delicate. Something else is going on. Let's try a thought
exercise: In a perfect world, what sorts of things does she think she
should be able to feed the disposal?
