6. Find the red reset button on the bottom of the disposal and push it. If the button won’t depress, wait several minutes and try again. If the disposal still won’t start, check to see if the circuit breaker that controls it is tripped.

7. Turn on the cold water and run it into the disposal. Turn on the disposal. It should operate properly.

SERVICE TIP: Call a plumber if you’re unable to clear a disposal jam.

HOME TIP: Some disposals aren’t directly wired and instead must be plugged into an outlet. If the disposal won’t turn on, make sure it’s plugged into the correct outlet.

Also, see Circuit Breakers (Page 13) and Electrical Troubleshooting (Page 14).

Visit the manufacturer’s website for more information about disposals.
