I clogged the garbage disposal with spaghetti?
Question:How do i fix it?
Answers:
Make sure that your garbage disposal switch is off. You should have a key that looks like a big allen key that came along with your garbage disposal. Run your hot water. Get under your sink with the key, and find the center of the bottom of the disposal. put the key in there and turn it a bunch of times while the hot water is running. After you've done that, there is a reset button around there too (it's usually small and red). Press that. Now, with the hot water still running, turn your garbage disposal back on. Most of the time, that fixes it.
Try running really hot water and soap down it for awhile and then turning the disposal on. Keep doing it until all the spaghetti is gone.
pour some hot water in there and let the disposal runwhile the hot water is in the sink that should loosen it up and unclogg it
It depends on if the disposal is shut off or not. If the disposal is not turning it is a two step process.
1. check the breaker that the disposal is on to see if it is tripped.
2. check the bottom of the disposal, there is a reset button on the bottom of the disposal, so that the disposal doies not overheat and bur out.
It could also be that it is a clog at the elbo of the drain pipe. if so. get a bucket and place it under the drain pipe and unscrew the elbow. the clog should become free. then put it back together.
One of these two solutions shouild do the trick
