My disposer motor, after sitting idle for 8 months in AZ (I’m a ‘snowbird’) doesn’t sound good. It was working fine before I closed my residence last March. I poured oil down drain & left it. I covered drain with zip bag half full of water. Did the motor dry out too much? I don’t have any instruction manual for the disposer.
