    My Insinkerator Pro doesn't start. Tried reset, cleaning spinner & the power. Ideas?
    Out of the blue, my insinkerator disposal stopped working. I tried the reset button a few times, also scooped out old stuff from the spinner. The power switch works, I think, because other things are switched from that and they work. Any ideas?

    "because other things are switched from that and they work" not so fast, pleaseexplain this statement. Frequently we see this[posals on a dedicated circuit. Did you check your breaker panel yet? Start there and come back. No hum at all , right?
