What do you do if you have glass in your garbage disposal?

You’ll want to use kitchen tongs or a needle nose pliers and pull out any large broken pieces from the disposal. Another effective way of removing the glass is to find a raw potato that is large enough to fit into the opening of the disposal and cut the bottom off of it.

Why won’t my garbage disposal grind?

If the garbage disposal hums but doesn’t grind when you turn it on, turn it off. Something is jammed inside it. If the garbage disposal is not draining or disposal water comes back up through the sink drain, the problem is generally with the garbage disposal drain, not the disposal unit.

Is it safe to remove drain plug from InSinkErator?

Retrieve the plug by reaching into the garbage disposal (which is safe to do, because it’s unplugged) or inverting the garbage disposal and shaking it out. It’s important to retrieve the InSinkErator drain plug because if you leave it in there, it will cause as much damage as a handful of nails when you try to use the garbage disposal.

Where does food waste go in an InSinkErator?
