You do not need to hold down a garbage disposal reset button for any extended duration; a single firm, immediate press is all that is required. Locate the red thermal overload button on the bottom center of the motor housing and push it straight in until you feel and hear a distinct mechanical click, which indicates that the internal spring-loaded switch has snapped back into its closed operating position. Verification: Release the button and immediately test the wall switch with cold water running to confirm normal motor operation.
