George August 09, 2011 for Model Number 665.1305790 The start switch was bad. I replaced switch,now the compactor has normal pack or extra pack. It will work fine in extra pack but when you put the switch back in normal pack you have to hold start switch on to make it work. Also extra pack light comes on . Then maybe sometimes normal pack will work until you use extra pack. Then it will not work in normal pack.
1 Answer Hi George. We cannot bring up any wiring diagram to your unit. The switch came with replacement instructions . Please re-look over anything that may need to be jumpered together with the terminals or rewired differently. Thank you. Read More...
Robert C. May 20, 2011 for Model Number GC900QPPB2 My trash compactor compacts, will reverse but does not shut off when it reaches the top. It bangs and I have to shut if off with the off switch. I already changed the switch that the metal tab hits on the return but that didn't fix it. What else could it be?
1 Answer Hello Robert. Did you change the directional switch WP777811? If not that could be the problem. Hope this helps. Read More...
Howard R. May 17, 2011 for Model Number 65513601790 My trash compactor sounds like it is working fine, however it only partially crushes the garbage before the ram comes back up. The problem occurred suddenly, it was not a gradual decline.
1 Answer Hello Howard. You will want to verify that nothing is wrapped up on the screws that push the ram down. Slide the compactor out and remove the top cover, so that you can visually inspect the ram screws. If nothing is visually jamming the ram, you might have low voltage or motor centrifugal switch W10439651. Thanks! Read More...
Dar T. March 24, 2011 for Model Number TF8500XRP1 My compactor will not operate. I have checked circuit breaker and power at outlet, everything is ok. Please help.
Dennis C. March 19, 2011 for Model Number tc507s0 Ram doesn't stop and reverse when it hits the bottom of container. What could it be?
1 Answer Hello Dennis. From the failure description you've provided it can be one of two switches. The directional switch WP777811. You can test this switch by removing the top and manually pressing the tab down listening for a click. It can also be a motor switch W10439651 but it is more likely that the directional switch is failing. Hope this helps! Read More...
Guest February 28, 2011 Compactor will not reverse. Gears grind with compactor engaged. Turn switch off and on reverse.
