Most likely you have a chunk of dish cloth or sponge lodged in the cutters. It
could be stuck bearings, but doubtful. Feel down inside the disposal around
the edge and see, no pun intended, if you can find something of the cloth or
may be some plastic like off of some packaging . Feel real good it may be hard
to find. As long as the switch is off this is safe. If it is the plug in
style unplug also if that will make you feel safer.
You likely will need some pliers to pull out what you can to free up the
disposal.

Aloha all,
I did get hold of a wrench to turn the disposal
from the bottom and it does turn but it almost
takes 3 men and a baby to move it. It didn't get
any easier after turning it several times.
RJ, where would I put the socket to turn it from the top?
