Paul November 09, 2011 for Model Number TC507W1 Our compactor goes down just fine. When it tries to come up, it just grinds until I help lift it to the top of the cycle. Anytime during the time it tries to go up and I let go of it, it stops and grinds.
1 Answer Hi Paul. You need to inspect the plastic gears and chain drive below. Gear kit part # 882699. There is a 21-1/2 " power screw assy. that lifts the ram, Inspect it for stripped gear also. If needed this part # is WPW10451272. Thank You. Read More...
Bob November 07, 2011 for Model Number kccc151eblo The compactor was sticking in the top position, I've taken it all apart including the motor. I can smell an electrical burning smell from the back of the compactor, how can you know which part is not working properly, is it the motor,the directional switch or the motor switch?
1 Answer Hi Bob. You can remove the chain and see if the motor part # W10439651, will run. If not then you can remove the motor switch cover and see if the contacts or connections are burnt.The motor switch is part # W10439651. The directional switch is part # WP777811. The drive gear kit is part # 882699. Thank You. Read More...
Robert C. May 20, 2011 for Model Number GC900QPPB2 My trash compactor does not shut off when it reverses and reaches the top of the cycle. It just bangs and I have to shut if off with the off switch. I have already changed this switch and it did not fix the problem. What else could it be?
1 Answer Hello Robert. You will need to test the start switch W10813586 and see if it is bad. If it is good, you have a bad motor W10439651. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
