My disposal is not jammed. It spins freely.
Yet the motor sounds as if there is a jamb.

Never encountered anything like this before.

Ideas?
Time for a new one?
does it work??? if not then maybe you can take it apart and see whats
not letting it work.... if not then get a new one...

May be the type of noise we've heard before that turned out to be due to
some small stuff causing one of the hammer pivots to stick. Sets up a
vibration. Poked it off with a knife. Also found that grinding a few small
chicken bones would clean it out.
