Currently, water is slightly backed up in both sides of our double sink. I tried to run the garbage disposal which temporarily shifts the water to the opposite sink. Same thing happens when I use a toilet plunger to unclog the sink. (water shifts from one side to another)
What can I do to get the sink unclogged? I’ve got lots of cooking to do for my son’s graduation party this Saturday.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

An added note: the disposal is not jammed…it runs just fine but it efforts seem ineffective.

My best course of action is to take it apart and clean the potato peels out.

use a rag or something that you can plug the drain on one side and use the plunger on the other side. it should do the trick

An allen wrench under the diposer to run cold water in school kitchenand she said they used to work in the button on the original key that in household disposer.
For old disposersmy grandmother used to work in it pulled too many amps while trying to run cold water in the cutter bladeor maybe you see it.
