Hereof, how do I turn my garbage disposal off?
Turn off power to the disposal at the electrical service panel by shutting off the circuit breaker that controls it. At the disposer mounting ring under the sink, turn the disposal to the left (counter-clockwise from bottom) to loosen and remove the unit from its mounting flange.
Furthermore, what does it mean when your garbage disposal doesn't turn on?
If your garbage disposal just won't turn at all, then it's very likely that the disposal has lost power. Your unit may have blown a circuit, or it could be unplugged. First, check the plug for your garbage disposal to ensure that it's secure. Next, locate the reset button on the underside of the unit, and push it.
To fix a garbage disposal that doesn't work:
- Push the reset button on the bottom of the disposal and then try it again.
- Make sure its cord is plugged into a working electrical outlet or hardwired to an electrical box. If necessary, reset the circuit breaker that supplies electrical power to it.
