TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here and
possibly save the cost of a service call.
Your compactor won’t operate.
• Is the power supply cord unplugged?
Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet with the proper
voltage.
• 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 Key-Knob fully to START and release.
Trash is not compacting.
• Is the drawer less than 1/2 full?
Drawer must be at least 1/2 full before compactor
will compact.
• Is the drawer loaded properly?
If anything gets between the ram and the drawer, the
ram will return to the “up” position without compacting.
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:
Turn the Key-Knob to START and release.
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?
Not all bottles break every time, depending on the bottle
and the trash load below it.
