Replace the whole thing. They are not that expensive and are easy to replace. The issue could be bad motor part or the shaft came loose from the grinding disk.

you need to take a allen wrench put it in the bottom of the disposal and turn it.the unit come with one if you know where it is

The wrench is for turning the motor when it has become stuck. If it's rattling, the motor isn't stuck. You need to remove the rattling piece from above. Get a flashlight and a stick with a piece of chewing gum on the end. Poke it down into the disposal until it picks up the offending item. Good luck.

Hi, Sounds like the motor just died
Here is a tip that I wrote that will help you to figure out what is going onwith your garbage disposal and why it is not working.

Did you also hear any clattering sounds when it started? If so, it is rotating. If not then this hum is the motor in the lock rotor stage. Did you place garbage in it yet? Always run cool water in it when starting it.

sound like the brushes. its cheaper to replace the unit

Make sure that the fuse/breaker is not blown/tripped You could take a voltmeter and check for voltage at the unit. Hope this helps

Possible bad motor mount(s) --only thumps or rattles when power is going to the wheels.

If it were me I would remove the disposal, turn it upside down and see what comes out. Would I run it with something in it making a lot of noise? Absolutely not. If something is loose in it, it could harm the disposal.
