How to Reset a Model No. 17560572 Garbage Disposal

The Kenmore 17560572 garbage disposal shreds food drained down the sink into chunks small enough to pass through household plumbing. The disposal may occasionally stop during operation if large or difficult food chunks jam the blades, making a reset of the appliance necessary. Clearing the blockage and resetting the garbage disposal at home prevents a visit from a technician and saves money.

  Push the red "Reset" button on the underside of the disposal, beside the bolt. The disposal is reset and ready for use.
