A disposal that just hums without spinning, one that trips the reset button repeatedly, or water pooling under the sink from a leaking seal — disposal problems range from a simple jam to a unit that's reached the end of its life.

A humming motor with no spin is the classic sign of a mechanical jam, not usually a motor failure.
