You may have something down in the disposal or something may have come loose. If you use a flashlight and cannot see anything, you might need to have a professional look at it. I would be very careful with anything electrical as it can be unsafe for diyers.
Betsy's answer is good information. If I read this before I called the plumber...I would have saved $$$$$$$$. He pushed the red button on the bottom of the disposer and ...............it started up just fine. Kudos to Betsy......
The safest way to ensure that there in NO electricity going to the disposal is to turn the breaker switch on the electrical panel that controls it to OFF.
This is often easier than unplugging the disposal unit, as often the plug is in a tight space that is physically hard to reach.
Better to be safe than to loose a finger!
At the bottom of the disposer is a small hole in which an Allen wrench can be inserted. Wrenches should come with the disposer. Put it in and turn it at least one full turn both ways. Then hit the restart button and turn on. Jeff
