PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION
COMPACTOR WILL
NOT OPERATE
Check that the power supply cord is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Check the type of wall plug the compactor is plugged into. It is possible the compactor power
cord is plugged into an outlet controlled by a wall switch. This can occur when the wall switch
was meant for a garbage disposal outlet.
A household fuse may have blown, or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Check that the drawer completely closed. Open the drawer to ensure the latch is locked.
Close the drawer rmly and start the compactor.
Check that the Key-knob is set to ON. See the “Starting Your Compactor” section.
TRASH IS NOT COMPACTING Drawer must be more than half full before trash is compacted. The ram stops 7" (17.8 cm)
from the bottom of the drawer.
DRAWER WILL NOT OPEN Push on the drawer front in an attempt to raise the ram. Be sure the latch is locked.
Press ON, then press START.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH
COMPACTION OR FORCE
Press OFF halfway through the cyle. Press ON, then START to complete the cycle.
BOTTLES DO NOT BREAK Bottles will not break every time. Factors that affect bottle breakage: 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.
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 15¼"(38.7 cm) minimum with at least a 1/8" (3.2 mm)
clearance on either side.
Check that the compactor is centered in the cabinet opening.
Check that 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.
COMPACTOR MOVING
DURING OPERATION
Check that the retaining brackets are installed to the cabinet. See the “Countertop Mounting”
or “Cabinet-face 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.
