Hey guys, it is with sad news today that my general electric disposal has officially died, I haven’t used it in quite awhile and when I went to use it today it started up fine, Then when I started putting the mandarin peels in made a lot of humming noise and then it died, The overload had tripped I pushed it back in but it didn’t start up

Rebuild it?

I’ve never done it but I assume it’s possible you could rebuild it and get it fixed up and working again. How old is this disposal?

It’s pretty old, probably from the 80s or even older,

Back when they made quality things, and I’m not entirely sure about getting it repaired simply it’s because I know that sometimes when someone takes about a garbage disposal I can possibly never seal correctly

Did you try using the key to move the disk around. Mine stopped the other day grinding up some bones. Used the "key wrench" turned it a few times both ways and started right up after.

Mine doesn’t have a wrench hole

So the only way how I am able to get it unstuck is by using one of those branches that go from the top through the sinkhole into the disposer,
