I think my winter wheat berries just did
This sucks... I have to figure out a way to explain why I have a bunch of grains in my drain.
Anyone have ideas how to fix it, or a little trick to unclog it? I guess thats the problem? Maybe a grain is stuck in the blade or something. It just sounds like the blade is not moving.

get your self a wooden broom handle and use it to pry the blades loose then after you unplug the disposal reach your hand in there and get whatever jammed the thing out ..

disconnecting a garbage disposal isn't that hard..
unplug, disconnect from sink, disconnect from plumbing (make sure to have a small bucket or something to catch the water) and clean. reverse.

I have jammed my GD many times .. usually a bottle cap or some plastic water bottle cap will do it .. you don't need to take it all apart .. try the broom handle first .. I have never had to remove my GD to free a jammed motor.. good luck !

if it's something large like a bottle cap or something, it will come right out by backing up the grinder w/ a broom or something.. but something smaller like uncooked rice or hard wheat won't come out that way, it gets down on the sides of the grinder and jams up... ime, anyways.
I had it happen with rice and broken glass when i had a disposal.. it was about a 20min fix that required taking apart the disposal.

garbage disposals are very handy. It's not an american ingeniousness, more like american laziness.

Oh Theodore. All you had to do is ask me, there is a special wrench for those disposals. And really all you have to do is unplug it before you go to work on it. The wheat berries wouldn't do it. So you are safe there. That is why I always want to use the side of the sink with the disposal when washing any of the seeds. That way they don't sit at the bottom of the P trap and rot. The disposal is strong enough to turn them to mush and send them through like mushy poo. Also, the dishwasher should be hooked up to it. Soooo, let me know there fella.
