Feeling a bit dumb. Garbage disposal jammed. Immediately tried the broomstick method a couple of times, no luck. Didn’t want to make it worse by frying the motor so I left it alone while I scratched my head. Finally goggled it, found a video showing the hole in the bottom of the unit, where you insert an allen/hex wench to turn the blades, which, of course, unjammed it in, like, 2 seconds – if that. Yea, Google, you are truly my “friend”.
Life is awesome – LOL.
