Turn the breaker back on to reset the breaker. Check the button on the bottom of the disposal to ensure it remains pushed into the disposal. Turn on the water and the wall switch to operate the disposal. If the garbage disposal still fails to operate after pushing in the reset button, check the wall switch. Hold a noncontact voltage detector against the wall switch with the switch in the on position. The presence of electricity at the switch causes the detector to beep and flash.
Leave the switch in the on position and hold the detector against the outlet beneath the sink. If the detector does not sense the presence of electricity at the outlet, the switch may have failed and electricity can no longer reach the disposal motor. Have the wall switch replaced.
