Trash is not compacting

Your compactor won’t operate

■Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■Is the drawer completely closed? Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor again.

■Did you press ON before pressing START? Press ON before pressing START (on some models). See “Starting the Compactor.”

■Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is fully raised.
