| We need a Flywheel Turning Wrench |
Linda came home from church starving tonight. She only ate a salad for lunch and was really looking forward to making something yummy. She started to run the water in the sink and noticed it not draining. She turned on the garbage disposal and it wasn't working. Drats! In the past, she had to press the little red re-set button to get it to work, but this time that wasn't it. She stuck her hand down there to see if anything was stuck and was only able to cut herself and tear a big chunk of skin off the side of her hand. She cleaned up the blood (and is hoping she does not need stitches) and put a band-aid on it. So no dinner tonight and now she'll probably have to get it replaced. Double Drats! UPDATE: Linda googled "How to fix a garbage disposal." Step one: Is motor running? Yes. Step two: Stick a broom handle down the hole and manually move the blades. Check. Step 3: Remove any food clogs. Check. Step 4: Insert a 1/4" allan wrench into bottom motor and turn a few cranks. Nope. Can't do that because we don't have the right tool. Before she calls a repair person, she is going to buy the right tool and try to fix it herself.
