The air button feels different
Leave the unit switched off while reporting a button that feels loose, stuck or unusually soft. Describe the change in feel and whether the motor responded before it stopped. Do not bridge switches or open electrical housings. The air-operated control and the disposer model need to be identified together.
Compare this observation: 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.
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 Hayes address
Specify Hayes in Bromley, Kent, with the complete BR2 postcode. This avoids confusing the address with other places named Hayes.
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 air button feels different” establish the failed part?
No. Describe that observation separately from “a harsh noise starts suddenly”. 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.
