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

  • Compactor will not start
  • Ram stalls mid-cycle
  • Door or drawer switch not recognized
  • Unusual grinding or straining noise
  • Unit runs but does not compact
  • Odors from incomplete cycles
