How Do You Remove A Food Disposal?

I accidentally had a bunch of soil go down my kitchen sink drain where the food disposal is. It has not worked since. We thought at first that there was just a small rock restricting movement of the grinders. I have completely cleaned out everything I can possibly see down the drain and it still will not work. I wondered if I blew the motor, but my husband, an ex-electrician, seems to think it is still just stuck. We can hear a hum when I flip the switch, but nothing moves. What do I do to check for that?

    Usually you can feel something in the disposer.  It does not sound like you ruined the motor since it still hums.  This website will help you depending on the actual model you have.
