9. TROUBLESHOOTING
Before seeking repair or replacement, we
recommend that you review the following:
LOUD NOISES: (Other than those during grinding of small
bones and fruit pits): These are usually caused by
accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign
object. To correct this, turn off electrical switch and water.
After disposer has stopped, remove splash guard, remove
object with long handled tongs, and replace splash guard.
UNIT DOES NOT START: Unplug power cord or turn either
the wall switch or breaker box switch to "OFF" position,
depending on your model and wiring configuration. Remove
stopper and/or splash guard. Check to see if turntable will
rotate freely using a wooden broom handle. If turntable
rotates freely, replace splash guard and check reset button
to see if it has been tripped. Reset button is red and
located on the front of the disposer. Push button in until it
clicks and remains depressed.
If reset button has not been tripped, check for shorted or
broken wire connecting to disposer. Check electrical power
switch, fuse box or circuit breaker. If wiring and electrical
components are intact, the unit may have internal problems
that require service or replacement.
