What is my waste disposal unit chewing?

Hi there!

My waste disposal unit (insinkerator) has started to sound as though it is trying to chew metal. With the whole thing switched completely off, I put my hand into the unit and could feel the 2 grinders; they felt a little loose, but there was nothing else in the cavity which they could have been trying to macerate.

Any ideas?

Could I try dismantling the thing to see if a teaspoon has gone down (but I don't really see how it could)? At the moment, it is completely useless as I can't bear the noise when I turn it on.

Any help or suggestions will be gratefully received! Thanks,

teddyb
