What should I do if my garbage disposal is humming but not working?

A humming garbage disposal usually means the motor has power but the impeller is jammed. Try this before calling: 1) Shut off the switch and breaker. 2) Press the red reset button underneath. 3) Use a 1/4-in hex key in the bottom socket to turn both ways and free the jam. 4) Pull debris with tongs, never your hand. If it still hums or trips, we can diagnose or replace same day with set pricing and a 1-year repair warranty. Serving Provo, Orem, and nearby.
