The underside of the disposal unit is where you find all the stuff you need to access when the unit does not work! Unfortunately the electrical reset button and the manual flywheel turning hole are located under the unit and are not the most accessible.
NOTE: Some brands such as Waste-King have models with the reset button located on the front of the unit.
Both of these items may be necessary to use if the disposal gets jammed. Once that happens, the unit will turn off so the electric motor and wiring do not overheat and get damaged. Once the unit was turned off, you would then have to free the stuck flywheel by dislodging the item causing the jam from the top or by using a special wrench in the hole in the underside of the disposal and turning the flywheel to break it free. Then, once the flywheel turns freely, you turn the power back on and press the reset button.
