Our disposal switch is a double switch with the over-the-sink light being the other switch. When only one is on it is obvious the other is off, but when both are either on or off, then it is not so obvious. So when our disposal jammed, I didn’t notice that the light was on, and both switches were flipped the same way! Thankfully I just reached under the sink and pushed the reset button, but I was so startled when the disposal started right up! It scared me to think I’d actually thought of just putting my hand in there and seeing if there was something blocking the works! I’m all for flipping the breaker for the disposal when needing to work on it at all! Pulverized fingers are no joke!
