SOLUTION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Troubleshooting for problems other than what is listed below should only be performed by a qualified service
person. Troubleshooting performed by untrained personnel could result in electrical shock or damage to the
disposer. (Disconnect the power before servicing the disposer.)
Turn the circuit line power on.
Turn control to the off position and press the red
reset button on the disposer.
Turn the control to the off position and complete
the following steps:
1. Insert the dejamming bar (slot down) through
the sink opening. Place the slot over one end
of the raised bars found on the top of the
rotating shredder.
2. Using an adjustable wrench or a pipe wrench
for leverage, twist the dejamming bar back and
forth to free the jam. (The rotating shredder
should revolve freely when the jam is re-
leased.)
3. Remove all foreign material that caused the
stoppage.
4. Allow the disposer to cool for 3-5 minutes after
it stops running. Press the red reset button to
reset the overload protector. (Never strike the
reset button with an object.)
5. If the disposer remains inoperative after
following these steps, contact the nearest In-
Sink-Erator Factory Authorized Service
Center. (You may obtain the telephone
number of the Service Center nearest you by
calling 1-800 558-5700.)
