Imbalance or Mounting Misalignment
Symptom
Disposal will not start unless the sink-top air switch button is pressed very hard or multiple times.
Faulty Air Switch or Pneumatic Line
Symptom
Disposal will not turn off immediately after switching off; it coasts for an unusually long time.
Mechanical Overrun / Weak Braking from Load
