Problem solving... Decades ago, my garbage disposal stopped working. Turned the switch - got just a hummm. Bummer. I was distressed, because at the time I hadn't the cash to buy a replacement. This is notwithstanding the simple fact I didn't know how to install one. Nonetheless, I called my local appliance dealer to come and fix it. He took one look. He pulled from his kit a giant screw driver and plunged it down, deep into the disposal and nudged the blades just a bit. It then worked fine for the time I lived in the home - on Berkeley Street. But I remembered this trick. In all the intervening years I had no problems with garbage disposals until today. Dad-gum thing stopped working! My solution: I went to my garage, loaded with unused tools of all sorts, fetched up a giant screw driver, plunged it deep-down, and nudged the blades just a bit. It now works again, just as it did before...
