The government’s Cash for Clunkers auto rebate program is over, but the appliance rebate starting early this year could give Americans some cash back on other purchases.

The Energy Star rebate program, passed last February as part of the American recovery and Reinvestment Act, will give rebates to consumers who replace certain home appliances with energy-efficient models. The program was designed to stimulate the sagging economy as well as conserve energy by taking inefficient appliances out of commission, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Energy said, the agency administering the program.

“It was a triple goal,” they say. “To increase energy efficiency, give a break to consumers in this economy and give a boost to the appliance industry.”

PROBLEM: Disposal Will Not Turn On (no noise)

Let’s get to the bottom of this potential “Garbage Disposal Repair”.  Be extra aware that the switch is off before putting anything into the disposers hole in the kitchen sink.

Now, let’s take a step by step overview at fixing this important piece of kitchen appliance.

PROBLEM:
Disposal Will Not Turn On (no noise)

If the disposal will not turn on and it is NOT making a humming sound, then there is an electrical problem.

  • This may seem obvious, but make sure the disposal is plugged in.
  • If it is plugged in then press the Reset button found on the bottom of the unit. If it has reset, the button will be popped out.
  • If that does not work, check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped and turned off in the electrical service panel.
  • If the breaker has not tripped and the reset button is not popped out, then it’s either a faulty switch or a faulty garbage disposal. First locate the switch that powers the disposal unit. It should be located on the wall but may be under the sink.
  • Turn off the circuit breaker at the service panel which powers the disposal.
  • replace the switch
  • Turn power back on at the service panel and check the disposal for operation.
  • If the disposal will still not turn on and makes no noise, the garbage disposal is beyond repair and needs to be replaced.
