Garbage disposal problems can be either
plumbing or electrical. First things first, never
attempt to reach your hand into a garbage disposal for any reason!!
Serious injury can occur.
If you turn on your garbage disposal,
and no sound occurs at all (no "hum" or any sound of the cutter
wheels turning), your problem could be electrical.
Try pushing the red reset button
on the bottom of the garbage disposal. If you still get no results, check your
electric breaker in your electrical panel to make sure that it is not
"tripped." If this doesn't resolve the
issue, then there may be a physical clog of debris preventing your
flywheel from turning. Most units provide you with a wrench that you can
insert into the bottom of the garbage disposal to manually "unstick"
it. Keep in mind that the electric needs to be turned off to the
garbage disposal before you try this step. If your unit does not respond to these actions, then it is likely that it needs to be replaced.
