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.

[@SailOnFlyBy]

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

[@MsBloviate]

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

[@princess471963]

Anne I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. What a way to end the night, laughing at dish washers. I love this human.

[@ogi197]

Definitely one of the best DIY for garbage disposal.

[@rayzer4642]

Awesome video! The fact that you say dishwasher multiple times makes it entertaining.

[@DeaninItYourself]

I get that a lot. It was so annoying to me but I guess it shows the authenticity. Thanks for the view and the comment.

[@junemays6957]

Thx for the help!! U saved us a $75 serve charge🙌🏼

[@Morenawisdom2523]

Love that you said dishwasher the entire time!!! good vid, thanks!

[@ritz7339]

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

[@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

[@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

[@markkoozer7733]

Great video. I was laughing with you when you kept calling it a dishwasher! Thanks!😂

[@mikeb8967]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@mamayste1852]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@karenthompson4134]

Single gal, not handy, on a budget. THANK YOU!!! It worked, was easy to follow and not intimidating the way you explained it. I'm so proud of fixing my dishwasher, er, garbage disposal. ;)

[@crazybulldogspiperpennyshe1523]

I just wanted to thank you. Last night I had to figure out how to fix my mother's sink. We tried to call my brother. We waited for pass 21 hours. I watched you video & got everything fixed up.

[@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.

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!

[@jpryor5953]

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

[@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". 👍👍

[@krispate1558]

Thanks for the video. I just fixed mine in 2 minutes without removing it. Appreciate the video.

Great video and thank you for calling this by its CORRECT name: Dishwasher. So many people get it confused with the garbage disposal appliance which washes dishes that it’s simply not funny! 😂

[@sedekiman]

Thank you! I did not disconnect the disposal just attached the tool and tapped it with the hammer. Gradually it started to turn, and voila success!!!!!!

[@TheKlineSusan]

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

[@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!!! 🙌

[@dburkemail]

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

[@amaliev9382]

Thank you! Thanks to your video I was able to fix my disposal.

[@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!👍👍

[@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.

[@marlin5173]

Thank you! Easy and clear instructions!

[@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

[@tao7776]

Very helpful, tried it and worked instantly. Thanks a million

[@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.

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!
