By which I mean, he showed up! At 9:30 when I said 9! He was so on time, it was exciting!
Then, he fixed the disposal in about thirty seconds. Apparently, I should have asked my dad about stuff that might need fixing, because it turns out there is a reset button on disposals! I DID NOT KNOW THIS. And there is a wrench thing, and you make sure the blades are turning and then you press the red reset button and then your disposal is fixed!
Miraculous.
Now, my landlord did ask me about a reset button, but it was in the context of my saying “and the test/reset button on the outlet didn’t fix anything, and neither did the circuit breaker!” and I told him that there was no reset button dedicated to the disposal. It turns out that there is, and it’s located on the bottom of the disposal itself, and I just didn’t know it was there.
Hopefully I won’t be charged for this visit.

Sorry, but I could not have helped you — I didn’t know there was a reset button on the garbage disposal either. These devices can be pesky and often differ from brand to brand. For example, when we moved to the Grove St house in BN, I couldn’t get the disposal to work so I called in some professional help. It turns out that the switch was in the cap to the drain – you merely inserted it and turned it (clockwise I think) and the disposal worked. Who would have thought! Certainly not me!
