My garbage disposal is clogged or does not work:
If you do not hear a buzz when you turn it on, it most likely needs to be reset. Press the reset button on the bottom of the disposal and test. If you hear a buzz, but it still does not work, turn off disposal and unplug from the wall. Mounted on the side of the disposal or side of the cabinet may be an Allen Wrench. Put the wrench in the center shaft and gently twist back and forth to clear the jam. Remove the object causing the obstruction, plug it back in, turn it on, and test.
