[QUOTE="inactive, post: 2715146, member: 7488"] Try to free it like others mentioned. Or find the reset button underneath. Mine went out in my old house last year. I could "jump" it by starting it with a wooden broom handle (thinking it was jammed and I could free it... this is [U][I][B]not [/B][/I][/U]a recommended diagnostic procedure but you can try it and tread carefully :D ), but then it spun up without a jam present. So it would not kick on bu itself. Which means there's something weak in the motor system on it. I don't know how serviceable they are for brushes, capacitors, etc... but I just installed a nearly identical base model ISE one. It's loud and doesn't work very well. My newer house has a larger ISE, which I remember from shopping runs closer to 200-250 compared to the ~110 bucks I spent. In retrospect, it is worth it to get the larger model. Quieter, works so much better that my sink never slows or starts to back up like it did with the lesser one. Like many things in life, it's worth springing for nicer one. They all should have an inlet for a dishwasher these days. If a house has no dish washer, you just cap that inlet. Your being on septic shouldn't matter much really, as you know what and what NOT to put down your drain anyway, making the disposal of little relevance. [/QUOTE]
