All that has been put down it is refried beans and an egg. Last week the plumber had to come try to fix it since the egg clogged it so bad the dish washer flooded the kitchen. Obviously he didnt fix it and the eggs and beans shouldnt be causing this problem. I would like to figure out what is wrong before he comes back and doesnt know what he is doing.

  1. I'm sorry and I dont mean to argue but if the beans are fried in lard I wouldnt put them down the garbage disposal. All animal fats will harden when put in cold or even warm water so anything with animal fat in it should not go down the garbage disposal.But the eggs should have not been a problem.


  2. Try this on your own. Take the sprayer hose from the faucet turn hot water on and stick the head of the sprayer down in the disposal opening, spray it down and around inside. Obviously you are not to turn on the disposal.

    Or get your shop vac, take out the filter cartridge and put some water in the disposal - now turn on shop vac and stick the suction hose down in the disposal drain. Let it suck then shut off, put more water down disposal and suck it out again with the shop vac. Keep doing this until you hear something unclog and go into the shop vac. I don't think the disposal itself is plugged up, I think the small drain line from it that goes to the sink drain is plugged up with something.
