Dee April 02, 2013 for Model Number 66513605790 I have a Kenmore compactor 66513605790. I can only get the compactor to compact by holding the start switch until I hear it go to the bottom then let go of the switch and it will stay down, after it's compacted I have to hold the switch until it rises all the way up again. Also the normal/extra pact switch blinks when it is compacting. Thank You for your help.
1 Answer Hello Dee, You will need to change the motor switch W10439651 to correct this issue. Read More...

Brian G October 28, 2012 for Model Number kccc151jwh0 My compactor works fine when in normal mode. When in solid mode, it will only run if you hold down the selector knob to the start position. If you let up on the selector knob, the unit immediately stops. If you hold it down long enough, it just cycles all the way down and then back up. If you let go of the selector knob half way through the cycle, the compactor stops at the bottom, where it should stop. How do I test the switches to determine which one I should replace? Kitchenaid Superba Trash Compactor
1 Answer Brian, We'll be sending you the information for testing the switches, as you requested. You're most likely on track, The issue is most likely in the motor centrifugal switch W10439651, based on your post description. Thanks Read More...
Dave September 24, 2012 for Model Number KUCS02CRSS Unit has solid and normal buttons/switch. When set to normal, the unit cycles fine. When set to solid, I have to hold the start switch in the start position to get the motor to operate; however, the ram makes that knocking noise and doesn't go down. As a workaround, I have been setting to normal and waiting for the ram to go down just far enough before it starts to come back up. At that point, if I hit the solid button, the motor shuts off with the ram in the down position. When I am ready to open it again, I hit the normal button and the ram finishes the cycle. Does this sound like the motor switch or something else? Thanks!
1 Answer Hi Dave. Unit won’t keep running.• Top limit switch contacts open part # WP777811. • “Solid or Dense Pack” cycle switch contacts open whether in “on” or “off” state (only on equipped models) part # 9872148. • Centrifugal switch contacts open (orange/black switch) part # W10439651. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. From what you described then I would focus on the Push button switch using the supplied wiring diagram stuck on the back of the unit. Thank You. Read More...
Bob June 24, 2012 for Model Number 66513613101 The ram will not do down on my Kenmore trash compactor. Turn the knob to start and the motor runs fine, and the ram sounds like it tries to go down but doesn't move. I have checked the drive chain and tightened all bolts. I replaced the directional switch thinking that was it, but it made no difference.
1 Answer Bob,Remove the top and check for a broken or damaged power nut WP9870163 or cap W11724671 on the ram assembly. Thanks Read More...
Bob S June 18, 2012 for Model Number 13613101 The ram will not go down on my Kenmore Trash Compactor. It motor is working, and I have checked the drive chain, and tightened all the nuts, all the above seem fine. Got any suggestions? Bob
1 Answer Bob, At this point, you'll need to check all the safety switches(door lock switch,drawer switch, directional switch,etc.) A proper model number would be a big assistance for us to assist you properly. Thanks Read More...
Wallace April 22, 2012 for Model Number KCCC151EWH0 I have electricity, I bypassed the drawer switch, I have the back and bottom off. The motor and drive assembly is in clear view. When I activate the start switch, the motor will cycle both directions about 10 times within 4 seconds. ??????
1 Answer Wallace, The motor direction on this unit is controlled through circuit resistance through the motor centrifugal switch and direction switch. You may want to remove the top panel from the unit and check the power screws WPW10451272 for articles or debris wrapped around the shafts and bearings/drive nuts. Then check the directional switch WP777811 mounted to the upper, front area of the frame. Before you check or replace the motor centrifugal W10439651 Thanks and Good Luck Read More...

Kenbob August 24, 2011 for Model Number TU800SPDB0 I recently had to replace the large driven gear at the bottom of my compactor. After doing so, the RAM works fine but the motor makes a loud pop when it reverses to raise the RAM. Did I cause this during repair or could something else have gone wrong?
1 Answer Hello Kenbob. You will need to check and make sure everything is good and tight with the gear assembly 882699. If not, It will cause the noise your hearing. Also check the motor and make sure the chain is tight. Hope this helps. Read More...
