What is how to reset garbage disposal?

Here's how to reset a garbage disposal:

A garbage disposal that stops working mid-cycle often just needs to be reset. Before you start, always unplug the garbage disposal for safety.

1. Locate the Reset Button: The reset button is typically a small, red button located on the bottom of the disposal unit. You might need a flashlight to see it clearly.

2. Press the Reset Button: Push the red button firmly. You should feel or hear a click.

3. Check for Obstructions: Before turning the disposal back on, inspect the inside of the disposal chamber for any obstructions. Use tongs or pliers to remove any large objects (bones, silverware, etc.). Never put your hand inside the disposal.

4. Wait a Few Minutes: After pressing the reset button, wait a few minutes before plugging the disposal back in. This allows the motor to cool down.

5. Plug the Disposal Back In: Plug the disposal back into the outlet.

6. Test the Disposal: Turn on the cold water tap and then switch on the disposal. If it starts working, you're done! If it still doesn't work, repeat the process, ensuring that the disposal is completely free of obstructions. If it still does not work there may be an electrical problem or internal mechanical issue which would require contacting a qualified repair person.
