Question posted by newbern4 on August 30th, 2012

Have Been Using Regularly Without Problems. Just Switched It On To Use --nothing

Switched on wall switch and nothing happened. No sound at all. Nothing unusual was inside the disposal. I pulled out as much as I could and tried again. I can't find the original manual, but it was purchased/installed in 2004. Breaker switch was not tripped, all other powered appliances work. Any ideas to try before I call for service??  First time ever a problem in 8 years!!  Thanks!

Since the breaker isn't open you'll need to check to see if you have power to the motor with your switch closed. You''ll need a volt meter to check. Also check the voltage across the switch. If you have 120 volts at the motor then the motor's bad. Good luck!
