A: If your disposal does nothing when you flip the switch, the most common causes are a tripped reset button (the red button on the bottom of the unit), a tripped breaker, a stuck impeller, or a burnt-out motor. For Hudson homeowners, start by pressing the reset button. If it hums without spinning, something is jammed and the motor will burn out if you keep trying. We will diagnose and fix or replace on the spot, usually $279 to $450.

If the smell persists, the splash guard may need replacement (about $30 part, included in our $279 service call). A professional cleaning can reach buildup deeper in the unit.
