Tim,
Are you sure the problem isn't the disposal? If it's on a plug instead of
being hardwired use a short12 gauge extension cord to plug it into a plug
on a different breaker. I'd also plug something into the plug under the
sink to make sure the circuit is OK. If there isn't a plug under the sink,
I'd suggest adding one while you're sorting this all out.
I have a Klein 80016 Circuit Tester that's been invaluable for testing
electrics. It's not super cheap around $55 for the whole kit but I use it,
at least the plug tester, frequently. You should have a plug tester at the
very least. As far as doing any work other than testing, you'll have to
decide. Pushing 78, I do little, if any work that calls for me to get down
on the floor or/and into tight spaces unless I absolutely have to!
HTH,
Ron
