the disposal and push it. If the button won’t
depress, wait several minutes and try again.

the circuit breaker that controls it is tripped.
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.

SERVICE TIP: Call a plumber if you’re
unable to clear a disposal jam.
Also, see Circuit Breakers (Page 13) and
Electrical Troubleshooting (Page 14).
Visit the manufacturer’s website for more
