Default How do you 'unstick' a seized Garbage Disposal Unit?



With the power off, see if there is anything stuck that could be pulled
out with a pliers. If not, since you cannot turn it with the Allen
wrench...time for a new one. Sounds like the motor is ceased.



Most disposals can be released with a bit of leverage. I agree...it's a
ceased motor.


The motor would cease operation if it was seized.
