Safe checks first
Turn the disposal switch off and disconnect power before reaching near the unit. Never put a hand into the grinding chamber. A reset button or manufacturer-specified hex tool may help with a jam, but stop if the motor hums, the unit leaks, or the sink still fills.
A disposal problem is not the same as a house-wide drain backup. Use the city clogged drain guide when the sink remains blocked. Call (844) 936-0420 with the unit symptom and whether water is leaking.
