A disposal that does nothing — no hum, no spin — is usually an electrical issue. Here is the Costa Mesa guide.
The reset
Press the reset button on the bottom, which often trips and cuts power.
The breaker
Check the circuit breaker or the GFCI outlet the disposal is plugged into.
The wiring
A loose connection or a failed switch can also kill it.
The call
If power is fine and it is still dead, the motor is done. Call 888-217-3585 and Costa Mesa Plumbing Experts will match you with a Costa Mesa pro.
