Jmac November 23, 2022 for Model Number 665.13613101 Hi there, when I turn my compactor on to compact, the motor keeps running once the Ram reaches the bottom and fails to come back up. I need to turn the start switch off in order to stop the motor and then turn back on for the Ram to reverse itself. I've already replaced the directional switch but it's still doing it. Plus it doesn't lock into the super compact mode either where the ram should stop at the bottom. Any suggestions would help please. Thank-you

Compactor Crony May 21, 2015 for Model Number Kitchen aide kccc151jbl0 When I turn the start switch, the compactor begins working. As soon as I let go of the switch it stops. If I hold it on, the compactor will compact and then return. If I still hold it, it will begin thumping when it reaches the top. Is this a start switch problem or what? What to do, what to do.
1 Answer Compactor Crony, With the motor running when hitting and holding the start switch but not continuing to run, this would be a faulty centrifugal switch on the motor in which the motor will need to be replaced. Read More...
