Moen garbage disposal will not start after a power outage

Safety first: Ensure the wall switch is OFF before working under the sink.

• Check reset button:
  • Press the red reset button on the bottom of the Moen disposal until it clicks.
• Verify outlet and breaker:
  • Check the under-sink outlet with another appliance.
  • Reset any tripped GFCI outlets.
  • Reset the circuit breaker by switching it fully OFF then ON.
• Test operation:
  • Run water and flip the wall switch.
• If still dead:
  • The power surge may have damaged the motor assembly. Replacement of the disposal is recommended.
