Default Garbage Disposal Broken?

With a flashlight and mirror, look at the bottom of the unit for a red
"reset" button. There should be an "Allen" fitting in the center of the
bottom of the unit as well. If the unit gets jammed, you insert an Allen
wrench into this hole and turn it until the unit spins freely. Other than
those possibilities, you'd need to check power to the unit and through the
switch

Hello,

I've lived in my house for about 3 years now, and my garbage disposal
in my kitchen sink has given me no problems. I tried to work it
yesterday via the switch on the wall, and nothing happened. I'm not
sure if I need to get a repair man in to fix or replace it, or do they
just need to be cleaned out from time to time? How do I clean one of
these things out if this is the case?

Thanks
Sam
