A harsh noise starts suddenly
Stop the disposer as soon as an unfamiliar harsh sound appears. Tell us whether it began suddenly and what was happening beforehand. Do not continue grinding, insert tools or reach into the chamber. Keep the make, full model and switching method together for an inspection-based repair or replacement discussion.
Compare this observation: the unit cuts out during use
Stop using a unit that cuts out repeatedly or becomes unusually hot. Describe the time already observed before it stops, without running another trial. Do not keep resetting protection or bypass the switch. The motor behaviour, operating control and full model help establish the appropriate next assessment.
The fitting is behind a furniture panel.
Describe the panel, plinth and visible surroundings. Leave the appliance fitted; photographs and an access description are enough to begin.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “a harsh noise starts suddenly” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the unit cuts out during use”. Explain whether they began together or at different times, and include the fitting detail: the fitting is behind a furniture panel. The inspection can then consider the symptoms and safe access together.
