Our kitchen sink has a garbage disposal that is stuck or not working. It
is an InSinkErator Badger 5 model. My wife says that a service rep who
came out the last time it malfunctioned said that all he had to do was
press a reset button. But I cannot locate it. Can anyone instruct me?
Thanks.

It's little, red, and I think it is on the bottom of the unit. Only
2mm iirc. If you don't have any other mirror, your wife probably has
a mirror in her compact. Mirrors are very useful. Or just feel
around.

Also if it is jambed there is hex shaped socket in the bottom which
accepts an Allen wrench or the special insinkerator wrench. Turn it
back and forth until it turns freely.

(My mother gave me a stack of about 6 mirrors that came with purses
she bought over the years. I've been using them for 40 years and
haven't broken one yet. At this rate they'll last me 240 years, at
least.


Still, get a small flashlight and long set of forceps to retrieve stuff that
goes down and won't grind up.
