Customer Questions and Answers for Trash Compactor Directional Limit Switch by Ge

Ed, based on the information provided, it sounds like either the directional switch WC21X20249 is not properly closing the contacts from the red wired terminal to the blue wired terminal when the ram is in the downward position, or the motor WC26X10006 centrifugal switch is not closing when it has reached its compaction limit when the compactor is half full. The directional switch can be tested for continuity at the mentioned terminals while pressing and releasing the plunger multiple times. When the plunger is not pressed, there should be continuity.
