Usually, disposals are not a repairable item. The loose shredder plate is integral with the motor shaft so they cannot come loose unless the disposal needs replacement.

if you removed the rag, under the disposal, is a reset button, it is red, or could be black, it has to be pressed to reset the motor trip

It is a small tool/ wrench that is hexagonal (six-sided) in shape, to be inserted in a screw head of the same style. The most common are just a six-sided steel rod bent in a "L" shape to create a handle.

Most Disposals are not worth repairing. If the motor won't work, try pushing the rest button on the bottom of the unit. If it won't turn, use an allen wrench to manually turn the impeller and see if something is stuck. You can also use a broom handle to turn the impeller.

Check with the local police and if what they are doing is wrong complain. If they are on your property take them to the dump.

That is the external switch that probably has welded contacts. Turn power off replace turn power on and smile it will work.

That should be in the terminal box cover. I am guessing but it has nine wires coming out and is rated at 220 - 440 3 phase. If you are not experienced in industrial/comerical power hire an electrician, that is cheaper then a funeral.

Seals are gone. Need to get it serviced or likely cheaper to buy a new unit.

Vacuum cleaner will remove debris from cutter area. Otherwise, take apart tubular drain under sink. http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-repair-and-install-Garbage-disposal.html#clog Gene If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7
