Food-waste disposal · useful observations
The unit under the sink has its own identity.
Read the disposer reference from paperwork or a safely visible label. Humming, a leak and a sudden stop are different observations; never reach into the chamber.
The disposer buzzes without grinding
Stop running it to demonstrate the noise. A jam or drive issue may need assessment, but hands and tools must stay outside the grinding chamber. Give the exact disposer model.
A code or symbol is showing
Copy the entire display, including punctuation, letters and leading zeroes. Product families can interpret similar codes differently; the full model belongs beside the warning.
If a warning disappears
Write it down when safely visible. The wording and full model are more useful than a remembered number from another appliance.
If the appliance was recently moved
Mention the change and what happened afterwards. A sequence of events is useful context, but it is not proof of a particular failed part.
