Disposer leaks

Disposer does not start

Reset button has been tripped.

With the splash guard removed, check to see if

the turntable will move freely using a broom

handle. If the turntable moves freely, replace the

splash guard and check the reset button to see if

it has been tripped. The reset button is red and

located opposite the discharge elbow, near the

bottom of the disposer. Push the button in until

it clicks and remains depressed. If the reset

button has not been tripped, check for a shorted

or broken wire connecting to the disposer.

Check the electrical power switch, fuse box or

circuit breaker. If wiring and electrical

components are intact, the unit may have

internal problems that require service or

replacement.

Turntable cannot rotate.

If the turntable does not turn freely, check for an

object lodged between the turntable and the

grind ring. Dislodge the object by moving the

turntable with a broom handle. Then remove the

object. If no foreign object is present, there may

be internal problems.

Loud noises other than
those during grinding
