To unclog an InSinkErator Badger 500 garbage disposal, you can follow these steps:

Turn off the power to the disposal at the circuit breaker or at the disposal itself.

Remove the sink strainer and check for any large objects that may be causing the clog.

If you find any large objects, remove them with tongs or pliers.

If you do not find any large objects, you can try to clear the clog with a plunger.

Place the plunger over the drain opening and plunge vigorously for several minutes.

If the clog does not clear, you can try using a drain snake.

Insert the drain snake into the drain opening and crank it clockwise until it reaches the clog.

Once the clog is reached, crank the drain snake counterclockwise to break it up.

Once the clog is cleared, turn the power back on to the disposal and run it for a few minutes to flush out any remaining debris.

If you are unable to clear the clog yourself, you may need to call a plumber.

Here are some additional tips to help prevent your InSinkErator Badger 500 from clogging:

Do not put any hard objects, such as bones, eggshells, or fruit pits, down the disposal.

Do not put too much food at once down the disposal.

Grind food in small batches and run the disposal for a few seconds after each batch.

Clean the disposal regularly with a degreaser or baking soda and vinegar solution.

I hope this helps!
