A trash compactor is mostly mechanical, so most failures give a very physical warning sign.
This usually points to stripped power nuts, a broken drive gear, or a faulty top limit switch.
Grinding often means worn gears or motor bearings, while banging usually comes from damaged power nuts.
This often points to a faulty start switch, an overheated motor, or a drawer safety switch not engaging.
Our technicians check the ram, gears, and switches in order to find the exact mechanical cause.
Safety note: never use your hands or feet to push down trash, and never place glass, aerosol cans, or batteries inside. Let the compactor's motor do the work.
