For further information, consult your pineal gland. She isn't having troubles with her sleep.

it has been clogged for a week... I get very nauseous when i think about sticking my hand in it to remove the YUCK and pressin the lil red button doesnt work You having it clogged for a whole week is enough to make me puke too. Just use Drano. That's what it's advertised for. Always has worked like a charm for me. But, letting it go for a week? Dynamite might be the only solution now. Good luck with that. drano...not a bad idea

see if there is a little allen wrench attached to the side of the disposal, if there is put it into the drain and give it a spin. You can also try a ratchet and socket..... Make sure the switch for the power is turned off

if the reset(red button) doesnt even make it hum when you turn it on..you may have kicked the circuit breaker. Look at the wall plug where it is plugged in under the sink. are there 2 little rectangular buttons between the plugs?? That is a GFI circuit breaker plug. push the reset button there to reset the breaker. If there is none there...go to your main circuit breaker box to see if any of them are tripped. If it is it will stick straight up instaed of in the on or off position.

See if it spins with the allen wrench first... were you cleaning out the fish tank gravel in that drain by chance??? Just see if it spins if you have to break it loose with the wrench it may fix your problem.

OK..if it humms the circuit is still ok. Try twirling the thing with the broom handle and get it to move freely. I'll bet there is some metal in there

If it hums, that means it locked up. Stick a broom stick (wooden handle) inside it and wedge it against one of the blades. Then twist/turn it untill it unjams. No need to remove the gunk...
