Quinn M. for Model Number TC8700XYP3 Does my start switch need replacement?The start switch stays on and will not go out. I replaced the directional switch but the compactor keeps running after the cycle . Please help. Thanks

The start contacts are a "momentary" circuit If the switch doesn't return to the neutral positionthe contacts remain closed and power is constantly supplied to the motor and it will run constantly.
