Switch off a humming or jammed disposal and disconnect its power before any manual-approved check. Never put your hand inside it. Persistent jams, leaks, or failure to run need professional attention.
Make safety the first step
A humming motor may be stalled. Do not leave it running or repeatedly cycle the switch. Disconnect power and follow only the checks in the appliance manual.
Never reach into the disposal, even when it appears stopped. Do not use chemical drain cleaners to attempt an appliance repair.
Report the symptoms
Tell us whether the unit hums, stays silent, leaks, or has a recurring jam. Describe whether water backs up in the sink as well.
