Start with the sequence
For this InSinkErator food-waste disposal complaint, note how long it runs and whether it becomes unusually hot. Record the last normal stage and the first change. A short description of that sequence is more useful than a guessed part name.
What might explain it?
The disposal stops during use can involve overload protection, a blockage or a motor problem. Those are possible areas for assessment, not a confirmed diagnosis or a claim about a particular InSinkErator model.
Compare the selected setting with the result you actually observed. Mention whether other functions on the same appliance still operate. Avoid repeated resets, bypassing locks or testing internal components.
The InSinkErator identification matters
Use the accessible underside label only if safe. Photograph the model without reaching into the grinding chamber.
Record the complete model and switch arrangement. A replacement decision must consider the existing mounting, electrical supply and waste connections.
A display code only has meaning alongside the exact product and its documentation. Photograph the full message rather than looking up a similarly named model and assuming it uses the same code system.

Tell us whether it has a continuous-feed switch or batch-feed stopper and whether there is safe under-sink access.
