Garbage disposal get electricity but won't grind
I have a garbage disposal that's been here since I moved into this house 11 years ago. The house is 17 years old. It's an ISE Insinkerator Badger 5 model. Anyway, I know it's getting electricity because it buzzes, but won't turn. It's not jammed. I've turned it from the inside and through the hex shaped hole at the bottom of the unit. It turns freely when done manually. It simply won't work to grind by itself. I've pressed the reset button, but nothing happens. The manufacturer says there's no point to using the reset if the unit is buzzing with electricity. Is it time to get a new disposal? Thanks for any help.

It sounds like your disposer may have an issue with the starting circuit.
Couldn't find any parts for internal repair. Looks like it may be time for replacement.
