Unless there is some sort or warranty involved it is a disposable item these days.

Some of the warranties are pretty long. I replaced one I got from Home Depot years ago under warranty last fall.

What is it doing that needs fixing?

Chances are if it is just jammed it need not be replaced.
A broom handle or similar wood stick would suffic to fix it.

You can come for dinner at my house, Spermie! This is such a cute response!

Your garburator is broken because you've been throwing away too much good leftover food. If you had invited me to dinner all these times, you woulnd't be in your current--and unfortunate--situation.

Please invite me for dinner.

LMAO.....DO NOT TURN ON FIRST BEFORE INSERTING WOOD THINGIES.

Most garburators come supplied with a wrench that can be used to turn the grinding unit if it is jammed. The wrench is likely about 6 inches (15 cm) long and has opposing bends at either end. The end will probably have an Allen key hexagon configuration (6 sides) which can fit into a receptacle on the base of the garburator. Make sure the power is OFF, insert the wrench and turn back and forth. This quick fix might be all you need to get the unit operating. Remove the wrench before turning power ON.

Good advice. I would just add, after you've done that, check the thermal overload switch on the motor. It's usually a little red button which pops out when the motor overloads. Also check the circuit breaker if that doesn't work.

My bad for forgetting the overload/reset switch. Thanks for adding.
