How do I unclog my garbage disposal?

The most likely spot for the line to be plugged is at the trap, (the "s" or "p" shaped area of the drain. You can either take that apart and clean it out, (usually a messy job, but not real complicated), or you can make sure the joint nuts are all good and tight, and fill the GD side of the sink with water, then be sure to insert the plug in the off side and turn on the GD. Frequently this push of the water from the GD will flush the peels out of the trap and on their way. You do, however, as I said, have to make sure the joints are all good and tight. If one is loose, you could blow the water and the peels and everything else that's in the line out, under the sink.. Good luck which ever way you go.

both solutions previously me are impressive.. i come across the first one to quite somewhat artwork. i became taught that perfect when I were given married and that i used it many many circumstances and saved various of money...I purely replace my garbage disposal a million time in 33 yrs... reliable luck! ok Walt got here in previously I were given this answer in...I do say I did what wealthy did although many circumstances. I used the decrease back of the lavatory plunger although ... If no longer purely get a plumber or purchase a sparkling one..they don't fee too a lot anymore i imagine.

it depends on the age of the unit, wheather it has blades or grinders, there should be a hole for an allen key to spin it manually.

make sure the power is off. do not stick your wooden spoon in again understood???

if you spin it freely , then check the p trap for clogs

Remove the pipes and clean them out. Have a bucket ready of course. It's probably plugged in the trap, after the disposal.

you could try a wet vac - but the trap may be the place those peels wound up.

clean out the trap and use the garbage can next time.

i think you ODed the GD when you inserted spoon. That wasn't smart
