Stored items can press on accessible tubing or control components, so keep the area around them clear. Do not use the tubing as a handle, hook or route for securing other cabinet contents.
What the observation tells you
A visibly crushed or detached tube is useful information, but it is not permission to reconnect or alter the switching arrangement without instructions. The appliance may have a separate electrical control accessory beyond the visible tube.
A useful next step
With the disposer unused, remove loose stored items without pulling on connections. Photograph any visible damage and ask for the correct repair. If clearing storage does not restore normal documented operation, avoid repeated tests.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
