My "Fly Wheels" are turning just fine! (There are only two right?) I can put my hand inside the disposal - after its unplugged and they both spin fine. The fly wheels do not spin a full 360 but I don't believe they ever did. But still. . . I only have a humm. NOW WHAT! Nothing seems to be stuck! Any idea's - please I have read blog after blog and tried it all. My “Fly Wheels” are turning just fine! (There are only two right?)

Thanks to the blog, I opened the rubber cap on the sink and reached inside with my hand. There was a dish cleaning pad thingy which was stuck, I pulled it out and rotated the flywheel with my hand (yuck!!). It started working! It was a bit tricky to located the right part of the fly wheel which would turn. Given a choice, I still prefer the old fashioned wrench way :-) I had my whirlaway stopped working today, this was new unit so I looked to put a wrench on the bottom, but instead found the plates and wires inside.

I checked this blog and thought - "piece of cake." Nope. The two pieces that push the junk around in there rusted and broke off. One of them I pulled out and the other one is lodged between the spinning thing and the side of the disposal. I can't get any leverege on them so mine is BROKEN. Perfect. LG dishwasher bit the dust a few months ago (it was only 2 1/2 years old), LG refrigerator blew a fuse (WHAT???) and now the garbage disposal is broken. NICE! This house sucks.

I removed the black rubber casing by just pulling it out. Then I had easy access and used my wooden hammer handle. I tell you it worked. Or else I could find no help at 10.55 PM on Sat night.

I am so glad I found these comments! I used the wooden spoon and WOW! The Whirlaway is working again without spending money. Thanks everyone!
