Should garbage disposal blades spin?
Run the water down the drain, into the garbage disposal, to free up any blockages within the blades. Turn on the garbage disposal. Now you can plug the unit in, and flip on the switch. The blades should spin freely again.
Why does my garbage disposal smell like its burning?
If your garbage disposal has a burning smell or is smoking, the motor or motor capacitor may be burnt out. This can mean it is jammed with food waste, or a stubborn object may be stuck in the grinding chamber, leading the motor to overheat. Repairing this problem would normally require replacing the garbage disposal.

What to do if your GE garbage disposal does not turn on?
If you have the more common continuous feed GE garbage disposal and nothing happens when you flip the switch to turn it on, the first thing to check is the wall switch or outlet. Also check your breaker or fuse box. If the disposal is getting power but will not turn on, it might have gone on reset.
What’s the speed of a GE continuous feed disposal?
GE continuous feed food waste disposer has a high RPM and high torque, to grind food finer and faster. Which is really a big deal. Since select GE Disposal disposers can reach speeds of over 3500 RPM, while many brands can’t reach over 2000 RPM, the Disposal disposers are less likely to jam.
