Following link has general troubleshoot, manuals, and installation for new disposal.

Most disposals have 1 year warranty.
If your disposal is less than 1 year old, then contact manufacturer for possible coverage.... probably easier to try swapping disposal at seller's store.

Hi,
Sounds like motor went bad..
Here is a tip that I wrote that will help you to figure out what is going onwith your garbage disposal and why it is not working.
Garbage Disposal Clogged or Jammed

You need a new disposal.
Free-rotating blades show there is no obstruction.
Humming says you have power.
Frozen allen wrench says bearings are rusted.
Motor is now overheating each timer electricity is turned on, and motor will overheat and stop humming.
At least the drain is clean and water is not flooding under the sink, which means you can continue using sink until disposal is replaced.
I wrote tips for installing disposal from days when I worked apartment maintenance:

I would keep working the impeller back and forth with wrench while running hot water thru disposal until it turns freely. You can see if there are any small bone fragments or other debris in grinding chamber and removing with long needle nose pliers. Good luck. Thank you.
Testimonial: "That did the trick. Picked out several fragments and it is working like a charm now. Thanks, frodo959!"
