    The Ram to my compactor is stuck down
    The drive chain to my compactor broke, with the Ram down. I took the back off and I cannot get the ram to release so I can get the drawer out.

    front covers
    i am remodeling a kitchen with one of these compactors and am looking for stainless steel covers for the drawer fronts. dont know if any parts are available for this or not

    wiring diagram
    The operation cycle is damaged. The ram moves only up or down when the switch key is held manually. Originally the key was used to make a momentary contact and the compactor did the rest: start,go through a cycle, and stop automatically. Any comments are welcome.
