When the motor hums but the blades refuse to spin, the culprit is usually a hard object lodged between the grinding ring and the flywheel. Common offenders include fruit pits, small bones, olive pits, or even a stray metal utensil. In Highland homes, where many properties were built in the 1960s and 1970s, older disposal units are especially prone to jams caused by mineral buildup from hard water or by brittle plastic parts that snap off and wedge inside. Attempting to force the disposal with repeated switch flips can burn out the motor or damage the internal assembly. Our garbage disposal jam removal process starts with a thorough inspection. We first shut off power at the circuit breaker to ensure safety, then use a hex wrench (sometimes called an Allen wrench) inserted into the flywheel socket at the bottom of the unit. By manually turning the flywheel back and forth, we can often dislodge the obstruction without disassembly. If that fails, we remove the drain cover and carefully extract the debris using long-handled tongs or a shop vac. For stubborn jams, we may need to disconnect the disposal and take apart the grinding chamber. We also check the reset button and the motor’s thermal overload switch, as these can trip after a jam. After clearing the blockage, we run water and test the unit through several cycles to confirm smooth operation and listen for any unusual noises that might indicate a cracked grinding ring or a bent flywheel. For Highland residents, a properly cleared jam means avoiding costly replacement. Many jams are simple to fix if caught early, but repeated jams or attempts to use chemical drain cleaners can accelerate wear. Our focused approach saves you time and prevents unnecessary damage to your plumbing. ## Areas We Cover in Highland We provide garbage disposal jam removal service throughout Highland and its surrounding neighborhoods.
