Astracast disposal will not turn on; no sound, but the red reset button on the bottom has popped out.

Safety First: Turn OFF the wall switch and ensure no one can accidentally turn it on while you work.

• Step 1 – Clear chamber: Remove visible debris from the grinding chamber using tongs or pliers. Rotate the grinding plate manually with a wooden tool to ensure it moves freely.
• Step 2 – Allow cooling: Wait 5–10 minutes for the motor to cool down.
• Step 3 – Press reset: Firmly press the red reset button on the bottom of the Astracast unit until it clicks.
• Step 4 – Test: Turn on cold water, then switch the disposal ON briefly. If it runs normally, resume normal use but avoid overloading.
• Step 5 – Monitor: If the reset trips repeatedly, further diagnosis of motor or bearing issues is required.

Warning: Never reset repeatedly without addressing the cause; this can damage the motor.
