It worked then it stopped immediately after like if it was clogged check inside with flashlight and doesn't appear that anything is in there

[@dchoney9435]

Love your humility. Rather than re-recording after calling the GD a DW multiple times, you just made fun of yourself. Way to keep it light-hearted, excellent video.

I was laughing so hard that you consistently called this a dishwasher corrected yourself and then called it a dishwasher again. Oh my goodness you must be human thank you so much I’m going to try that stuff.

[@DeaninItYourself]

I know..I must have been subconsciously thinking about fixing my dishwasher. As long as you got the general idea though.lol

[@Robert-kx3ze]

Your video was a life saver on how to fix the garbage disposal. I had to open my garbage disposal and remove a metal screw that got stuck in there. The whole thing was done in 30 minutes. Thank you!

[@mamayste1852]

Thank you very much! I fixed my garbage disposal the way you've suggested on the video. Two thumbs up!!!!!

[@ogi197]

Definitely one of the best DIY for garbage disposal.

[@Savorysingles]

Thank you very much. You saved me hundreds of dollars. Mine made a humming noise and I assumed that I needed to replace the entire disposal. Turning the blades with the disposal tool did the trick. My disposal was down for months because I dreaded the repair cost. I'm so glad that I found your video

[@Freedomfighter914]

Dear Mr. Dean -You’re brilliant. This is the 3rd video I’ve watched to try to fix my garbage disposal, but none of them worked except yours. You are much more through than anyone else making these types of videos. You just saved me $400. I can’t thank you enough. Sincerely, Your newest subbie

[@DeaninItYourself]

Thank you.

[@ted1983ful]

A big thank you sir. you did an amazing job. very clear and thorough with your explanation. God Bless!

[@ritz7339]

Thank you! The reset button worked and I stopped freaking out lol. :) Thanks for the clear instructions!

[@SailOnFlyBy]

Thiis is by far the best dishwasher repair video ever!😅

[@yarnsrj]

A million thanks! I couldn't turn that allen wrench for anything. Thanks for demonstrating using a hammer to loosen the jam. Working now after a month of the dreaded "hum". 👍👍

[@jasrin37]

So, I'm drunk in a hotel room. Garbage disposal doesn't work. Look under the sink. Garbage disposal tool aka allen wrench, was zip tied to the garbage disposal. Pulled it apart and found a whole entire dishrag in there and a tiny screw. Boom! Fixed! Now I don't have to change rooms! Thanks for the video. 1 and 3/4 thumbs up cus i forgot to unplug it! jk

[@eeolah4090]

Have been frustrated for days but you had me laughing out loud for calling it a dishwasher….I LOVE and appreciate your humility! Great video and I believe I saw such a tool I my garage….thanks for giving me hope!

[@piratechocolate]

Excellent video. Going to fix mine! Got a laugh out of the use of "dishwasher". Something I would do. Thank you for sharing this.

[@jpryor5953]

Awesome! I used an Allen Wrench to free the blades. Knew about reset but the hole in the bottom... wow! You rock!

[@brendasue6623]

Job well done!! I understood everthing you said to do. I am pleased that I was able to find to reset the bottom. Will need to wait for one of kids to come. Will tell them step by step what to do! You are far smarter than a 5th grader --greatest complement I can give anyone which means you are👌! Thanks for your help!👍👍

[@guypage790]

Very very helpful. Good pacing, thorough detail; worked for me. I love the humility; increases trust and I will definitely come back for more guidance. Thanks!

Oh my gosh! Just what I needed. I have spent too much money for these simple fixes. No more of that. Thank you zillions.

[@DeaninItYourself]

You are so welcome!

[@karenb5744]

I had the humming noise, so I tried the reset button, but that didn't help. Then it wouldn't even hum. So I used the dishwasher, er, um, I mean the garbage disposal tool, and the reset button again. It worked! You make me feel so smart and capable. Oh, and I LOVE your sense of humor. Thank you so much!!

[@DeaninItYourself]

Glad it helped

[@aylavang]

[@MisaSantaCecilia]

Thank you, your video was very helpful. Somehow a small screw had fallen into our garbage disposal and jammed it. Your video gave me confidence to try to fix it myself and I was able to get it working. My wife is very happy. Thank you.

[@rmanwaring2068]

Thank you so much! This was by far the most helpful video I found and it helped me solve my garbage disposal problem! Awesome job!

[@bernardshell6463]

Incredibly helpful!!! You review the options in a step by step manner. Thanks for reminding me what the disposal tool looked like! Found it in my tool box where I put over 9 years ago. Inserted it as directed, cranked to the left, felt and heard the grind of rust. We had been travelling for 6 weeks; it hadn't been used. Plugged it in, turned on the water, pressed the air switch--the sweet sound of success! The smell of rust came up, then the grinding noise smoothed out to a smoother rotation. I should have watched the part where you get smooth movement with the tool. Fortunately, the motor was able to handle it. I was going to spend time and money because someone said that if you press the air switch and you hear nothing, then your switch is bad. I'm sooo glad I spent the time to find this particular video and educate myself to a more informed decision process. Loved Deanin' it!!!

[@DeaninItYourself]

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad I could help you figure it out.

[@elizabethkuhstoss5255]

What happened if I haven't been using the disposal since I bought the house last year

[@starrl1026]

Thank you so much!!! Our garbage disposal made a humming sound a week ago, like it was trying its hardest, then stopped. Checked the breaker, wasn't it. Paused at 3:07 and it worked!!! My husband and I don't like calling the maintenance guys 😒 so we waited and was going to call tomorrow for repair. But I know #KZbin has helped us both so many times before and saved $$$ as well! It's folks like you who deserves the best! We didn't even know there's a button underneath 😅 😁 Ours doesn't have a plug-in, maybe because we live in an apartment ? Thank you for what you do!!! 🙌

[@Will251819]

Thank you for that knowledge. Done and done bro.. it's fixed. Didn't even need a special tool. Any person that's ever wrenched on anything can piece together something. I used a torx bit T40 which is probably equivalent to a 4 or 5mm socket . Love saving money and that's a hellova assist by you.

[@marilynwill6279]

Thank you so much! You solved a problem in a simplified manner! Easy fix!!!

[@dburkemail]

Great video. My disposal was humming so I unstuck it as you suggested. I feel like a hero (thanks to you!).

[@rayzer4642]

Thank you... Turns out there was a screw stuck along side the circular drum inside... but this method allowed me to troubleshoot and now I know how to take apart a dish disposal

Patient and Professional! This is an excellent "how to" to fix the most common and annoying garbage disposal complaints. You're a very good instructor!

[@idrissamorehouse5776]

To everyone thats having a weird problem -as long as the switch is off you can gently reach in and feel around -you might just have some small hard objects that fell in the drain hole and are jamming the blades -in my case it was two small screws -your relaxed vibe gave me c0nfidence to stay at it and find the problem :)

[@eyeambeautylive]

I’m sad! I see the screw stuck in mine but it’s stuck between the blades. I’ve tried everything!!! It will not move

[@g0pr346]

This worked perfect for me! Big thanks for the video! 🤘🙏

Thank you very much, my friend. I laugh a lot when you named it dishwasher but at the same time, I respect you a lot, thank you for this wonderful and helpful video.

Man, thank you so much for doing this. That hammer trick save us some cash for now. But ours does need to be replaced. But props to you.

Thanks to you, I was able to fix my garbage disposal!! The blades were stuck but they’re not now!! The only thing I forgot to do was shut off the power so I’m glad I didn’t electrocute myself 😂

[@KevinLeslieAnd5Kids]

Thank you so so much! Clear instructions, worked like a charm.

[@Heliflopters]

AWESOME video! I got to the step where you twist the middle hole with the garbage disposal wrench and mine wasn't stuck like in the video so I twisted it around a bit and tried it and it was fixed! But now if it doesn't twist next time I also know how to unclog it! Thank you!!!!!!! I am not a handy person at all and I found this video very easy to understand.

[@ej_thetiller5843]

Yup! Agreed this video taught me so much and it was a simple fix! Thanks man! You’re a Life and money saver!

[@natehocking8884]

Great video! Just saved me a lot of money. My only critique/advice would be to mention in the video and/or notes that the “garbage disposal tool” is really just a 1/4 in hex wrench. No need to buy the special tool if you already have that. Thanks for the video!

[@mikeb8967]

Thanks forgot all about the cranking tool to get the insides going again - VERY HELPFUL - THANKS!!!!!! (Yes it works again)

Thank you !!! Fix mine myself!! Greatly appreciate it

[@Monstress_Art]

No lie! You just saved me so much money!!! Our garbage disposal quit working and we had figured we needed a new one so I looked up vids of replacing it but then let it go since we didn’t have the money. Then months later your vid is recommended to me and I was like why not, maybe we can fix it ourselves. No joke, we had no idea there was a reset button and that worked! I’m floored.

[@crazybulldogspiperpennyshe1523]

Great video! I was about just to buy another one, but decided to check the internet first, and found your video. Although I liked how you included all of the correct steps (the trap is plastic, after all), I thought I'd try without removing everything first. A metric allen wrench, and the short end using my fingers worked to free it up. But I would not have known about this without your video! Thank you so much

[@DeaninItYourself]
