I can manually move it with a little wrench or from inside -- can spin each impeller and rotate the whole gizmo, BUT when I turn on the switch, there is an electrical hum but no functioning. It is an Emerson E100, maybe 15 years old?
 
Hi,

If not jammed up but the motor is hummmmmming only....sounds like a bad motor = shopping time.

If you are sure that everything is moving then it is probably a bad motor.

On the plus side though with a 15 years old disposal you/somebody got their moneys worth :)
 
Sounds like a motor problem. After 15 years, the blades are probably getting dull anyways and a new unit is in order. Emerson is the manufacturer of Insinkerator disposals so changing it out should not be a problem.
