Garbage disposal will not run after a power outage, while other outlets work

Safety First: Ensure the wall switch is OFF before resetting anything.

• Reset GFCI: If the disposal is plugged into a GFCI outlet, press the RESET button on the outlet.
• Press disposal reset: Press the red reset button on the bottom of the Waste Maid unit until it clicks.
• Check breaker: Verify the kitchen circuit breaker is fully ON. Reset if tripped.
• Inspect connections: Check the under-sink junction box or plug connection for loosened wires.
• Test operation: Turn ON the wall switch. If the unit remains dead after these steps, internal surge damage may have occurred and the disposal should be replaced.
