It doesn't drain and spits up everything. It's not old and I am not sure what to do.

YES, I'm running the water for it. Now when I turn it on I have to cover the drain with a bowl so it doesn't fly everywhere..the motor is still running.It spits up a little water and some of the "chopped garbage" - then the water goes down a little but that's it....

Nevermind. Bakingsoda and vinegar cleared it right up. Don't do what I did and put potatoe peels in there.

Something is clogged inside it. Look with a flashlight when it is off. Do not stick your hand in it while it still has power connected. You may be able to unclog it with a wooden spoon handle or such.

if you look under the sink where the disposal drain comes out the side of the disposal, it should go into a tee shooting to the other side there's probably something clogged in that tee. it could also be in the p-trap, or more major of a problem, kitchen sink drain clogged in the wall. you can try and take it all apart, just remember how it goes back together. it'll save you from having to get a plumber(unless of course you do need a cable ran). GOOD LUCK!

Are you running water when it is turned on? According to my booklet, we are suppose to.
