Follow the appliance through its cycle
Name the under-sink unit and its switch arrangement. A humming disposal, a silent switch and slow sink drainage each need a different starting description.
The switch or stopper used to activate it
Whether the unit was silent, humming or turning
Any leak, drainage change or stopping behaviour
Which change did you notice?
The disposal will not run
Record whether there is silence or a hum.
↗↗The unit hums without turning normally
Record whether water backs up; stop activating it.
↗↗Water appears below the sink
Record the visible starting point of the leak.
↗↗The sink drains slowly
Record whether the second bowl or dishwasher connection is also affected.
↗↗A new grinding sound appears
Record when the sound began without putting a hand into the unit.
↗↗The switch does not operate the unit
Record the switch type and whether any sound occurs.
↗↗The disposal stops during use
Record how long it runs and whether it becomes unusually hot.
↗↗An odour persists around the disposal

↗Choose the actual badge
Identity and access belong together
Photograph an accessible external model label under the sink. Keep any version or feed-type information and do not put a hand or camera into the grinding chamber.
Describe the cupboard space, mounting and visible waste connection. A continuous-feed switch and a batch-feed stopper are different arrangements; say which you have.
