Compactor Repair
JennAir trash compactor stalled mid-stroke or ignoring the door switch? We diagnose drive and safety systems.
What we do
Overview
A compactor that will not start, stops mid-ram, or ignores drawer switches can involve the motor, mechanical binding, interlocks or control. We respect the ram path, test safety circuits, and only proceed after a written estimate.
We service built-in JennAir compactors with drive, switch and cycle problems.
Symptoms
Common problems we fix
