PROBLEM SOLUTION
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH
COMPACTION OR FORCE
Compacting works best when the Compress cycle is used. Keep trash compressed for
a minimum of 30 minutes.
BOTTLES DO NOT BREAK Factors that affect bottle breakage: Bottles will not break every time. The thickness of the
bottle’s glass and the content of the trash load below it may keep the bottle from breaking.
COMPACTOR WILL NOT
TURN OFF
Push on the drawer front to attempt to engage the drawer monitor switch. Open drawer and
be sure the latch is locked.
The foot actuated Start switch may not be engaged or the lever that pushes the Start switch
in may be bent. Push on the lever to stop the compactor. If needed, bend the lever back
into position.
Debris in the drawer area will cause the door to disengage from the drawer monitor switch
causing the compactor to keep running. This can also keep the compactor from starting.
DRAWER IS HITTING
THE CABINET
The cabinet opening should be 15
1
/
4
" (38.7 cm) minimum with at least an
1
/
8
" (3.2 mm)
clearance on either side.
Make sure the compactor is centered in the cabinet opening.
Make sure the latch is locked. An unlatched drawer will cause the front door to be wobbly
and offset from center.
Check for debris on the drawer tracks or under the drawer. Debris may cause the drawer
to lean to one side or not sit properly on the tracks.
The compactor may be set too high or not level. The compactor can be raised or lowered
with front leveling.
Ensure the drawer is located on the tracks. If it is not, remove the drawer and reinstall.
COMPACTOR MOVING
DURING OPERATION
Check that the retaining brackets are installed to the cabinet. See the “Countertop Mounting”
or “Cabinet-front Mounting” sections.
DRAWER IS WOBBLY
OR LOOSE
NOTE: By design, it is normal for the drawer to move slightly side to side.
An unlatched door will wobble more than normal. Check that the door latch is in the
locked position.
The screws on the drawer front (door) may be loose. With a Phillips screwdriver, check
to ensure the screws holding the door to the drawer are secure.
COMPACTOR IS NOISY The noise could be normal operation: The compactor is driven by a steel chain and steel
sprockets.
The fan will make a humming noise when on. Set the air lter switch to OFF to turn the fan off.
