But I was getting ready to. The disposal quit working awhile back. I suspect it got a little rock jammed in it. And disposals do not like rocks. So I know it needs to be taken out and looked at. Well that is a daunting task when I think about all the things I have stored under the sink. So time went by. I hoped that the dishwasher water was keeping things from growing in it while I procrastinated.
I think the dishwasher water helped, but not completely. So this morning the dishwasher is running and the water is not draining at all through the disposal. Had I not bailed some out it would have overflowed before the cycle was done. So that told me it was time to do something about that disposal.
And naturally it is full of water. First things first, I reset the reset button on the bottom. And it worked to drain the water, but you could hear that rock or whatever. So I knew where a flashlight was.....and isn't that amazing? Used it to do a good look in the disposal. Made sure the moving parts were free and could not find a rock, but I did find some gum. Ew. Scrubbed it a bit to get some gunk out. Turned the disposal on again and it works and no noise. Voila. Fixed. And I didn't have to dismantle it and then figure out how it all goes back together and not leak. :P The not leaking part would have been the most important part.
