Project Source Decoupled Rotor / Stripped Drive

Garbage disposal motor runs but impellers do not move; no grinding action

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Broken internal coupling between motor and turntable, Stripped drive hub, Manufacturing defect, Severe jam damage

Safety first: Disconnect power before inspecting the chamber.

Confirm symptom: Look into the Project Source disposal while briefly turning it on (use extreme caution and keep hands clear). If you hear the motor but see no movement, the drive is decoupled.

Internal drive components are not serviceable on Project Source disposals. The only safe and effective repair is to replace the entire disposal unit.
