 Have you ever wondered how your garbage disposal disposes of your food? Well, many of us know the routine you take and you dump the food down inside the disposal. You turn the water on, you turn the switch on. Garbage disposal comes on, grinds up the food and goes down the drain. That's pretty much the way it works. Well, here I have a demonstration here and a little bit for you. We just put the food down here, put the water down here, turn it on. The electric motor in here is by two shafts. The top shaft has a flywheel with cutting blades on it. It spins around, shops up the food, is forced through the holes around the side there and it comes up right here and goes down the drain. In case you're wondering what this little thing for, it's just an attachment for your dishwasher to get rid of the water too. Now, my favorite way of keeping these disposals clean and smelling sweet is just to take a bunch of ice cubes, put them down inside the disposal, pour a cup of vinegar on top of it, turn the cold water on, turn it on, let it run and you don't hear the grinding action anymore. And by doing that, you'll be cleaning up the little food particles that get left behind in the disposal and your garbage disposal will end up smelling sweet and clean. Now, remember I said that most disposals have two shafts? Well, here's the reason why. A common problem we come across is people say, I put something too big in, disposal jam and I can't get it out. Well, remember, it was precaution. Make sure the garbage disposal is turned off or unplugged. But after you do that, there's something down here. You've got to get it out, but it's jamming and we can't just stick our hand down and pull it out because it's jammed. Well, if you reach up underneath the disposal and this one being out, you don't have to do that, but when you lay it down on the side, you see a hole right here. And we have a little wrench right here, Allen wrench. And what you do is you stick this wrench inside the hole and it actually locks in the bottom of the motor shaft. And by working this back and forth, you'll break free what was ever in it. Then you can take, again, remember to power off, reach in there, remove whatever it was, and then turn the disposal back on to test it and make sure that you've removed the obstruction.
