UNIT DOES NOT START:
Unplug power cord or turn off either the wall switch or breaker box switch to “OFF”
position, depending on your model and wiring configuration.
Remove stopper and/or splash guard.
Check to see if turntable rotates freely using a wooden broom handle.
If turntable rotates freely, replace splash guard and check reset button to see if it has
been tripped.
Reset button is red and located on the front of the disposer. Push button in until it
clicks and remains depressed. If reset button has not been tripped, check for shorted
or broken wire connecting to disposer. Check 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.
IF TURNTABLE DOES NOT ROTATE FREELY:
Turn off disposer
Check for any foreign object lodged between the turntable and grind ring.
Dislodge object by rotating table with a wooden broom handle (see 6A) and
remove object. If no foreign object is present, there may be internal problems.
Before seeking repair or replacement, we
recommend that you review the following:
LOUD NOISES
(Other than those during grinding of
small bones and fruit pits):
These are usually caused by accidental entry
of a spoon, bottle cap, or other foreign
object.
To correct this, turn off electrical switch and
water.
After disposer has stopped, remove splash
guard, remove object with long handle tongs,
and replace splash guard.
