Hi - I have a double sink + the disposal side is clogged. The other sink drains just fine. The disposal motor seems to be running, the blades are not stuck and there is nothing that I can pull out of the accessible disposal area.
I removed the p-trap and found nothing. When I added water to the disposal sink - it still didn't drain. The clog seems to be between the disposal barrel and the p-trap, but when I try snaking in that direction, I find nothing. Any advice?

I figured it out!

Okay, what was it?
Sometimes the baffle tee gets plugged. If that's the case, it may be time for a new disposer. When new, they chip up food product into small bits, but as they start to wear, they let larger bits out which can jam downstream.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
