Hi. We just moved into our new house and the disposal worked when we moved in. Unfortunately, when we went to run it recently, it made a bit of a slight whir and then did nothing more. Now when it is turned on, nothing happens at all. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.

NO responsibility can or will be taken. And yes, I am a licensed plumber with my own business in Brisbane Australia

The inside will spin if I mauually turn it (its not jammed) and if I turn the unit on, and then use a plumbers friend to get it going, it works. Once I turn it off, Im back to sqare one. Any thoughts?
