Yes, virtually all standard residential garbage disposals feature a built-in reset button. This button serves as a thermal overload circuit breaker designed to protect the electric motor from burning out if the unit jams or overheats. It is almost universally located on the bottom exterior center of the metal motor housing underneath your kitchen sink cabinet. If the motor stops running or hums without spinning, pressing this button after clearing any jams will restore power. Verification: Press the button firmly until you feel a distinct internal click indicating it has reset.
