01
Why the pipe objects
Cobs are dense, fibrous and far larger than the scraps most disposals are designed to handle.
02
Do this instead
Compost cobs where accepted or put them in the trash.
03
Already did it?
Turn off and disconnect disposal power. Do not reach into the chamber. Follow the appliance manual or call for service if the unit is stuck.
