My disposal is humming, and it turns freely with the hex wrech, but the blades aren't moving when I turn the switch on. The reset button has not popped out either. No sure what to do.

@doruthie1 Hi, I have the exact same problem as yours, have you solved your problem? :(

WOW!!! I had unplugged my garbage disposal because it stopped working. I was getting ready to replace it and its barely 3 years old. I never knew that there was a reset button on there at all (duh)!Oowwee, thank you!!!!! : )

thanks for the post. I performed the fix and my wife absolutely loves me for it. thought I had to buy a new disposal - turns out, a penny was jamming it up. keep up the great work!

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. Instead of having to wait on my husband to repair this or paying a repairman nearly what I would pay for a brand new disposal, I decided to try your advice. That was one of the easiest things I've ever tried. Plus, I get to brag to my husband that I fixed it without his help. Or I could just take the money that I would have paid to a repairman and buy some new shoes ;-)

If you unit just hums maybe it would be a good idea to turn the power off before the motor burns out. Ya think?

my garburator (mainline 1900) does not have a hole to use the wrench. it's humming but not working. i tried using a stick to turn it inside but no luck. what else should i do?
