These are the most common trash compactor repair issues we repair in Mableton homes. If your problem is not listed, call us — we handle every issue.
If the compactor does not run when you press start, we check the door switch, start switch, drive motor, and control board to identify the fault.
A ram stuck in the down position is a common problem caused by a failed drive motor, broken drive nut, or a tripped cycle. We safely reset and repair the mechanism.
Grinding sounds during operation usually indicate worn drive gears, a failing drive motor, or debris caught in the ram mechanism.
If the ram does not travel its full distance, the drive motor may be weak, the drive belt may be worn, or the ram guide may be misaligned.
A drawer that sticks or will not latch is often caused by worn drawer slides, a bent frame, or a faulty drawer switch.
Persistent odors from your compactor may indicate a failing activated charcoal filter or improper sealing. We inspect and advise on filter replacement.
