Garbage disposal trips the breaker only when grinding certain foods (e.g., potato peels, fibrous vegetables).

Safety first: Reset the breaker only after turning the wall switch off.

• Step 1 – Clear chamber: Remove excess food waste from the chamber using tongs.
• Step 2 – Use proper technique: Run a strong flow of cold water and feed small amounts of waste gradually.
• Step 3 – Avoid problem items: Do not grind large quantities of potato peels, banana peels, celery, corn husks, or artichoke leaves.
• Step 4 – Test with light loads: If the disposal works fine with small, soft scraps but trips with heavy loads, adjust usage habits or consider a higher-horsepower Frigidaire model.
