When I turn on my garbage disposal I can hear the motor spin up, and down

The turntable with the hammers is not spinning, though. The table plus
hammers kind of wobbles around in the grinding chamber when I poke at it
with a stick. It seem loose. Maybe not connected to the motor drive shaft??

Water flows freely through the unit.

Any ideas for repairs or do I buy a new one? It is 25 years old.

Any recommended brand?

Thanks



Get rid of it. It's an unnecessary appliance. You have a garbage can
don't you? Put your swill in a zip lock bag before you toss it and it
won't stink. Zip locks come in sizes from half sandwich size all the way
up to 'real big'.


I just use plastic rap
