I have a double sink, the disposal is in the sink attached to the other sink which goes to the main line and eventually to the sewer (I guess).
Disposal backed up and other sink is running clear of water I run into it.
I tried using the allan wrench to see if the disposal was stuck... but it turns fine both ways... I also stuck my hand inside the disposal and the things on the bottom also turn fine. When I turn it on it sounds like a humming noise vs gargly (when it is tearing up the food).
Do you think the motor has stopped turning the disposal or perhaps there is a back up in the pipe between the sink with the disposal and the other sink?
I am a single mom and would like to try and fix it myself... or at least not get ripped off... thanks!
