I took it apart and it would start by hand spinning it. It would not start
on its own. Bought a new unit and replaced it.

Thanks for everyones comments.

After eight years of service to the family, it would be appropriate to bury
it in the back yard with a little marker. ;-) Hope you replaced it with a
decent one, or you'll be redoing it in four years. Eight years is a long
time to last, and it musta been a good disposal.
