    InSinkerator Pro 17
    Just moved into a home with an Insinkerator Pro 17. After using it for about a month, it won't work... it hums when I try to engage it, I've tried the reset button, and it doesn't help. I've tried spinning it with a wrench but it won't budge. There is possibly a lemon pit caught... is there an easy way to take apart?

Our InSinkErator Pro 17 disposer was acting up recently. It would stop grinding and will do this humming noise. First couple of times, resetting the red button on the bottom would fix it. Now, resetting the button doesn't change anything. Moreover, after a few tries the bottom part of the...
