A quarter is stuck under a blade in my garbage disposal; any ideas about how to remove it?
Question:Preferably without having to take the thing apart from underneath the sink. The blade cannot be disassembled from the top.
Answers:
You can try to get a garbage disposal wrench, if you have a hex key type opening at the outside bottom center of the disposal. $5 dollars at home improvement centers.
If you do not have this option, use the wood handle of a hammer, to push the blade backwards. The trick is to get hammer on the part of the blade that sticks up looks like butterfly wings, to push against. I have done this many times, and was able to free many coins, nails, etc. Good luck
Try grabbing onto it with a pair of needle nose pliers and pull straight out, no angle.
Try using a curved grapefruit knife to pry it out from under.
A long flat head screwdriver and a hammer. try 2 tap it 2 the side.
is the disposal bound up..just humming..unplug it and use the jam clearing wrench that came with it..by rotating the blades the quarter should clear
Bribe it with an offer of 50 cents if it will come out.
