Sound Familiar?
If your disposal is doing any of these, you're in the right place.
Humming but Not Spinning
You hear the motor, but nothing moves.
Won't Turn On
Flip the switch and nothing happens.
Leaking
Water is showing up underneath the sink.
Not Draining
Water or food is backing up in the sink.

Common Garbage Disposal Problems and Causes
Disposals are simple machines with a small set of common failures: something jammed in the grinding plate, a tripped reset button, a worn impeller, a failed motor, or a leaking mount or drain connection. A hum with no spinning usually means something is jammed. Complete silence usually points to power. Describe what yours does and a pro can sort it out.
What You Can Do Right Now
Never put your hand or fingers inside a disposal, even when it's switched off. If it hums without spinning, something is jammed; leave it alone and describe the problem. If it's completely dead, you can press the reset button on the bottom of the unit and check the breaker, then let a professional take it from there.
