Garbage disposals are simple devices, but when they stop working, it can be frustrating. If you flip the switch and hear nothing, check the power source first. Ensure the disposal is plugged in and the breaker is on. If everything looks fine, press the red reset button at the bottom—this resets the built-in circuit breaker and may restore power.
If your disposal hums but doesn’t grind, something may be jammed in the impeller. Never use your hand! Instead, try using a wooden spoon or plunger handle to free it. If your disposal came with a hex wrench, insert it into the flywheel and turn it clockwise to dislodge debris.
