First, turn off the power. Then, remove any objects inside the disposal. Things that usually get caught are chicken skin, bones, mashed potatoes, celery and so on. If that does not work, use a broomstick to try to unstick the blades so that they move. Then turn on the power and the reset on the disposal.
New Answer HeadlineDo not hand turn the blades. There should be a hole underneath the unit, you can turn the blades there with an Allen wrench. If this does not work, take a flash light and look for any objects that may prevent the blades from turning. If you have small hands you can reach in (with power disconnected) and remove objects.Raw cabbage leaves should not be put into the garbage disposal as it will badly plug up the disposal. Other items that should not put into the garbage disposal include banana peels, onion skins and celery.
No, you can not place chicken skin down a garbage disposal. If you placed chicken skin down a garbage disposal you could back up your drains because the skin does not get broken up by the blades.
My garbage disposal is acting up and I think I need to get it replaced. About how much is that going to cost me?
With a plunger.
You can have one or both. If you have a disposal, the dishwasher usually empties into it. This helps keep the disposal clean and any food particles from the dishwasher get chopped up. Any home can have a dishwasher, but if your home is on a septic system, a garbage disposal is distinctly discouraged.
Landfill.
it isn't advised, it will probably clog it up.
No. It will get stuck in the disposal and keep other foods from being ground up.
run cold water thru it for a minuint after you are done with it, cold water should be running while you use it also,
yes you can the garbage disposal chops things fine and it is ok to put that down there because it will be chopped up and go down the sink properly You can put anything down a garbage disposal! it will take anything you can fit, but back to your question , Yes but most vegi material needs lots of water when you use your garbage disposal because it needs more flow to flush down the drain so when you do put cabbage in it just break it up more and put it in slow with the faucet on cold.
Soak it in bleach then put in garbage disposal
According to most sink manufacturer's, NOTHING should be pt down a drain (except water) unless you have a garbage disposal.
