Yes it takes a allen wrench. Try rocking it back and forth. If it turns
freely, then it is likely the starting switch or capacitor. Both are internal
to the motor. No telling what a motor repair shop would charge to repair, but
it is possible.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Garbage disposal
Aloha everyone,
You know, I wanted to replace the garbage disposal when we did the
kitchen, but I lost that one.
Today the unit only hums when I turn it on. I remembered that I had
taped the wrench to insert at the bottom to turn it on the inside of
the old cabinet and for got all about it. So, now I have no tool to
turn it. Is it an
alan wrench? I have a couple but they aren't big enough. The blades
on the inside turn freely and water drains through. I did press the
reset button.
Suggestions? TIA, Betsy
