InSinkErator / Food waste disposal / BR5
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.
Compare this observation: the mounting or connection has moved
Stop use if the disposer is loose, displaced or leaking at a connection. The assembly is heavy, so leave mounting rings and fixings undisturbed. Provide an external photograph and explain what moved. A mounting complaint needs the sink, waste and control arrangement checked together before further operation.
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.
For the Petts Wood address
Use the complete BR5 postcode for a Petts Wood enquiry. Keep the fault code separate from the model number; the two details identify different things.
Read the identity, not just the badge.
Quote the complete model and serial or service number from a safely visible label. Similar product names can hide different components. If the label is concealed, leave the appliance in place and tell us the model is unknown.

A useful question for the enquiry
Does “the unit cuts out during use” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “the mounting or connection has moved”. 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.
