Can I Ignore a Garbage Disposal That Hums but Won't Spin?
Verdict:
PROBABLY NOT
Probably not. A disposal that hums without grinding is usually receiving power while its grinding mechanism is jammed or stalled. Switch it off, do not keep testing it, and disconnect power before using tools to clear it.
