I have a kitchenaid superba disposal and sometimes it won't turn off. I have to throw the circuit breaker. Is there a switch on the disposal that will turn it off?

My garbage disposer stopped working - I can hear the engine hum when I flip the switch, but no part seems to be moving. Wondering if this can be fixed or if it's dead and needs to be replaced. Thx!!

Sometimes the disposal rotor is jammed by a piece of chicken bone for example. You can use the supplied hex key to stick into a hole at the bottom and jiggle the rotor free.

Garbage disposal won't stop running

Check switch. replace switch. If switch checks out, then replace disposal to avoid risk of overheating and in-wall short.
