Tips for fixing your Whirlpool garbage disposal when it won't start

  • Push the reset button. The reset button is localocated on the bottom of the garbage disposal. The reset button resets the motor overload switch. The motor overload switch trips when bones or other objects jam the disposal blades and prevents the motor from spinning. Resetting the overload will allow the motor to get electrical current. If the motor buzzes but the disposal blades don't spin after pressing the reset button, you'll also need to free up the jammed disposal blades so the disposal will run.
  • Check the power supply. If the motor doesn't run or buzz after pressing the reset button, then the electrical outlet for the garbage disposal may not be working or the house circuit breaker for the outlet may be tripped. Reset the house circuit breaker for the garbage disposal outlet if the breaker tripped. If the house circuit breaker wasn't tripped, check the electrical outlet for power by plugging a night light or small appliance into the outlet. If the test item doesn't power up, then you'll likely need to have an electrician repair the electrical outlet. If the outlet works, unplug the garbage disposal and check the power cord for damage. Replace the power cord if you find frayed or cut wires. Check the power cord wiring connections and reconnect any loose wires.

How to fix a Whirlpool garbage disposal leak

Unplug the garbage disposal and make sure the sink flange is properly seated and sealed. Check the sink flange support ring and tighten the ring if it's loose. If the support ring is tight, check the sink flange gasket for damage and replace the gasket if it's torn or cracked.

If the garbage disposal leaks water from the discharge elbow connection, tighten the discharge elbow mounting screws. If the mounting screws are tight, check the discharge elbow rubber gasket and replace the gasket if it's damaged.
