Garbage Disposal is acting up. - Homemakers Homemaking

Well I went online and tried to learn how to fix it. It is making the humming noise, so I got the wrench and loosened the thing on the bottom. Then I reset the button on the bottom. It still isn't working, just making the humming noise. I don't know what could be the problem. It said stuck flywheel, but I figured I fixed that when I loosened it. Should I just give up and call a plumber(Is that who I'd call?). Landlord would foot the bill I guess.

Wow - that's impressive. I wouldn't even begin to know where to start to fix it.

I'd call your landlord and let them figure it out. That's a benefit of renting.

Yeah, lets just say I'm a procrastinator lol. The track lighting in the living room hasn't worked since DH left cause I just haven't called the electrician. My landlord is really hard to get a hold of too. I told DH I'm useless without him. However, I'm determined to have everything in working order by the time DH gets home.

My landlord is easy to get ahold of - he's just a tool and doesn't fix things. It's ridiculous.

I'd make a list of everything that needs fixed and sit down and call your LL and leave him a VM and a list of days that you're available for him to come fix it. Regardless of your difficulty in reaching him - he still is obligated to fix things on his own dollar - not expect you to take care of it!

I guess it's just a part of me putting on my

. I will do that I think.
lol thanks Charity. I guess I just am used to having people tell me to do something first before I'll do it. And DH ain't around to do it so I leave it to you ladies to kick my butt into gear.

hahahaha I'm HAPPY to electronically kick your butt every now and then. Now if I could only kick my OWN butt into gear with working out again!
