Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the second time my garbage disposal has gotten clogged and I didn’t want to have my landlord call out a handy man again! This worked like a charm!

My disposal has been jammed for at least a week and I've been too stubborn to put in a ticket with my property manager. Decided to search for help on YT, found your video, and I was able to fix it in 2 minutes! Thank you!!

Girl THANK YOU!!! For days I have been washing my dishes in a bucket because I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Turned the blades with my wooden spoon ( it was def jammed cause it was hard to turn at first ) and heard something. Turns out it was a Halloween cupcake ring that got caught in there! You are awesome! Thank you!!

Girl, it took me 2 days, 7-8 hrs (total), & 1 KZbin video (this one, obviously), but I was able to troubleshoot my issue, unclog my drain, AND un-stick a VERY stuck screw that was lodged in my disposal thanks to following the steps & info of this video. Saved myself *at a minimum* $150-175. Now, I also know what to do in the future if this happens again. THANK YOU! xoxo

@ChickFixUSA

That's a tough one. Try putting a bunch of baking soda and vinegar down there. It will foam up and hopefully loosen some of that stuff up.

ChickFix USA thank you, while watching other videos one other dude was suggesting something like a drain fluid helps, so I figured if I pour half bottle clorox down the drain it would melt all those artichokes and maybe help...and it did after waiting like 15 min. Now its working all good. Thank you for help too ;)

Not sure I would do that. The disposal chops things up into tiny pieces and flush out with water. Stuff like that would clog up you toilet for sure.

Technically it's "unjamming" but when people search, they are more likely to use the word "clogged"

This is NOT a video on unclogging your disposal, but unJAMMING it---
@ChickFixUSA
@ChickFixUSA 4 жыл бұрын
You're not the first person to say that, but most people when they look up something like this will type "unclog" rather than "unjam." But since you are the second person to mention it, perhaps a title change is in order.
