Dani Goodwin Maintenance Garbage disposals are handy kitchen tools—until they suddenly stop working. If yours has gone quiet or won’t spin, don’t panic! Often, a simple reset is all it needs to get back to work. Here’s how you can safely reset your garbage disposal in just a few easy steps.
Before doing anything, make sure your disposal is turned OFF. That means unplug it from the outlet under your sink or turn off the breaker that powers it. Never stick your hand down the drain, even if the unit is off.
Additional details
Most disposals have a small red reset button on the bottom of the unit (underneath the sink). Look under your sink and locate the garbage disposal. Find the red button on the bottom of the unit. If it’s popped out, that’s a sign the disposal has tripped. Press the button firmly until you hear it click. Restore power and turn on the disposal to see if it’s working. If that doesn’t do the trick, move on to Step 2.
Sometimes, a jammed flywheel is the culprit. Most disposals can be manually rotated to clear the blockage. Turn off power (again, this is important). Underneath the disposal, locate the hex-shaped hole in the center. Insert a ¼-inch Allen wrench (hex key) into the hole. Turn the wrench back and forth a few times to manually rotate the flywheel and dislodge any stuck debris. Remove the wrench, press the reset button again, and restore power. Still not working? Try shining a flashlight down the drain to check for obvious obstructions like silverware or food. Use tongs or pliers—never your fingers—to remove them.
To avoid future clogs or shutdowns: Avoid putting fibrous foods (like celery), grease, or bones down the disposal. Run cold water before, during, and after use. Clean it regularly with baking soda and vinegar.
If you’ve tried all the above and your disposal still isn’t working, it might be time to call in the pros. R.E.D. Plumbing is just a call away and happy to help troubleshoot or replace your garbage disposal if needed.
