Hello, my name is Michael Raines and we are on Expert Village. Now while we're down here, this is the little breaker that we were talking about earlier. If you don't know where it is, it is sometimes difficult to find. But there it is, a little red button. It is now depressed; it's not depressed so we know its working. If this was popped out to about here we know that the breaker is popped. It has not popped so this machine is good. Now, also there is a key way that uses the shaft of the motor, it sometimes loosened if it's jammed in there. I don't like to use it that key way. It really doesn't give you any advantage and what I'm talking about is here in the bottom of the motor. This is a key way, now you can put in a key here or wrench and turn the disposal but if the disposal is jammed you're not going to be able to turn this. So, what's the point? You know it doesn't matter, I'm the hands on kind of guy, I just like to stick my hands in the disposal and see if turns myself. But just so you know that's what that little key way is for.
