    Garbage disposal stopped working
    I almost certain that the only step I need to take is to turn the garbage disposal with a allin wrench but I would like instructions to do so.
    Thank You

    Does it hum when you turn the switch on, have you tried the reset button. A wooden dowel or rod (broom handle) makes a good tool for unjaming a disposal. Of course you can use the allen wrench that came with it if you can find it.

    There is a reset button on the bottom the most of disposers. Get on your knees with flashlight in your hand and look for it. It is a small, red, button. Push it in.
