This may be a silly question,but are you sure its not just clogged ? A jammed disposal will just buzz and it appears gone .. Quick test .. Either attached to the disposal or on the bottom of the cabinet containing the disposal should be a metal long S shaped piece of metal .. It is actually a little tool that comes with every disposal. Either end of that will attach to a small indentation at the bottom of the disposal. All you do is turn that back and forth several times .. maybe 90 - 180 degrees (1/4 to half way around) .. then try your disposal again ..
There also may be a red button on the disposal that has popped .. similar to your GFI in the bathroom .. that can be rest by a quick push ..
If you havent tried either, five minutes could save you a few bucks !
