This model GFC700 disposal is the same age as our house - about 15 years.
Two days ago, it made an unusual sound when running, a more high-pitched
noise than normal. Then yesterday, my wife said while it was running it
made a CLUNK sound and quit.

The unit rotates freely (with a hammer handle inserted into it). The reset
button has been pushed - it did not seem to be activated, though.

Any thoughts on what could be wrong? Time to get a new one?

Thanks,
Craig
