If your Badger InSinkErator fails to operate entirely, begin by checking the electrical power supply to ensure the wall switch is functioning and the dedicated under-sink circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Turn off the wall switch and unplug the unit. Look underneath the motor housing and firmly press the red thermal overload reset button. If the unit still hums or remains dead, use a hex wrench in the bottom center socket to manually clear any potential internal jams. Verify that power is restored when the motor runs smoothly upon flipping the switch.
