Regardless of how annoyed you might be by your disposal’s refusal to function properly, heed this one warning. Despite the fact that you feel ready to do almost anything, in order to get it working, you must never forget one word of caution. As you try to fix that malfunctioning unit, your family members will understand, if you misplace a list of instructions or lose track of a tool. Still there is one mistake that could saddle you and your family with a problem that is worse than the one that has you so annoyed. If you want to avoid that problem, then remember these words: At no time should you put your hand in the hopper. The word hopper is the name of the drain that exists within the device that is meant to dispose of your garbage.

Does the disposal not turn on and also fail to produce a humming sound?

That combination of symptoms suggests an absence of power. Check for evidence of the most obvious reason for the problem. Look to see if the disposal has been plugged in. If it has been plugged in, then you will need to find the reset button at the unit’s bottom. Press that button and then see if that has solved the problem. If those tricks do not get your disposal working, conduct some other simple procedures. Start by checking the circuit breaker. See if it has tripped. Next locate the switch that powers the malfunctioning unit. It should be on the wall or under the sink. It might be at one edge of the sink, under the counter. Once you have found it, you are ready to move on to a precautionary step.Turn off the both the circuit breaker and the service panel. Do this if you stand prepared to complete the necessary replacement of the switch. Otherwise, you will not be any closer to the point where you have fixed the device that is supposed to dispose of your garbage. Under ideal circumstances, introduction of the new switch will provide you with a working disposal. Still, you must check to see if the annoying problem has now disappeared. Turn the service panel back on and see what happens; see if all the old and new parts are working to ensure the unit’s ability to dispose of your garbage. At this point you have done all that you can, without moving on to an obvious step. You must make arrangements to have your malfunctioning device (your disposal) replaced.

What is changed or unchanged?

That replacement should allow you to dispose of your garbage in a quick and easy fashion. Still, it cannot change the nature of what takes place inside of the hopper. Consequently, you must continue to keep your hand out of that hopper. Additionally, it helps to have the contact details of an appliance repair service in San Diego County to assist you. Contact us.
