I have a clogged double-bowl kitchen sink with garbage disposal?
The side of the double-bowl kitchen sink with the garbage disposal does not drain. The side of the double-bowl kitchen sink not attached to the garbage disposal works just fine. I have plunged and snaked the side with the garbage disposal but it is not clearing up.
Can it still be the trap if one side works just fine? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Upon further inspection it appears that I have been snaking the line to the dishwasher and not the pipe I thought I had been. I am now in the process of trying out your various answers

What I always do never fails. While the disposal is running place the plunger over the disposal and slowly push down. Now quickly pull up. Do a few times. It has always worked for me.
on the bottom of the disposal is a small reset button, try that.
Also, make sure its off stick your hand down in there and see if the disposal blades are caught up on something.
I had this occur last week, a green scratcher pad got down the drain and was all wound up in the “blades” for the disposal once I got that out of there, it worked like a champ.
If this doesnt work and the disposal isnt turning on, you need a new one.
If the disposal is working but nothing is draining, you need to call a plumber.
Good luck
The particles from the disposer have jammed up in the “Y” where the two drain pipes meet. (That’s before the trap.) Take it apart, clean out the blockage.


Try turning on the garbage disposal. If the disposal will not turn on check under the sink. On the side of the disposal is a red reset button. Press this then try the disposal again. If the disposal is not working after reset you need to replace it.
