Hi -
My garbage disposal was working fine earlier today but then when I ran water in the sink a little later in the day - the water wouldn't drain.
I have a Sinkmaster Model 450, double sink with dishwasher. I do not have any information on the disposal - it came with the house when I bought it 5 years ago.
After baling the water out, I tried it again without running any water and it seems to run fine, water was spraying out from somewhere in the disposal, and it ground up the piece of food I put in it. I ran some more water and it just sat there.
I know absolutely nothing about plumbing. The other sink drains fine so I am inclined to think that there is something wrong with the disposal or a clog in it.
Do you know what might be causing the sink not to drain? Hopefully, it is a quick fix that I can do myself. Also, there does not appear to be a jam.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
