Cleaning Inside the Cabinet

Cleaning Before a Vacation

If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the compactor bag. Remove the Key-Knob (or Key-Switch) and store it out of children’s reach.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Trash is not compacting

Is the drawer less than half full? Drawer must be more than half full before trash is compacted.

Your compactor won’t operate

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

Has a household fuse or circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

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

Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START? Turn the Key- Knob (Key-Switch) fully to START and release (on some models). See the “Starting the Compactor” section.

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

The drawer won’t open

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

To raise the ram on models with a Key-Knob (or Key-Switch): Turn the Key-Knob(Key-Switch) to START and release. See the “Starting the Compactor” section.

To raise the ram on models with push button controls:

Press OFF, and then press ON. See the “Starting the Compactor” section.

There is not enough compaction or force

Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough? Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded.

Bottles don’t break

How often do you notice this? Bottles will not break every time. The thickness of the bottle’s glass and the content of the trash load below it may prevent the bottle from breaking.
