All disposers have an overload feature that automatically shuts off the power when the motor becomes overloaded and gets too hot. Once the motor cools, simply push the reset button on the side of or under the unit.
On the other hand, if it hums but doesn't spin, it may have something stuck in it. Switch the disposer off, then try working through it by turning the blades with a special disposer wrench (sold at home centers) or by turning a bottom bolt. Many disposers have an Allen wrench for that purpose, inset on the bottom of the machine.

| Look for a reset button If your disposer won't start, push the reset button and give it a spin. |

| Turn the blades to loosen a jam Don't put tea bags or too many potato peels all at once into your disposer. That's a sure way to clog it. |
