Replace is your only option. However....
Totally agree with opinions here that the disposer is a useless piece
of hardware. When our last one gave out some years ago, it was not
replaced and SWMBO says it is not missed. She would rather have a more
sanitary sink and use the garbage can for what it was intended.
So redoing the plumbing to have a simpler lifestyle is your other
option. Think of it as your contribution to Earth Day.
