Avoid compacting large objects, like wine bottles or half-liter jugs, which tend to jam the ram mechanism. |
Fill the bin completely before compacting the first load. Compaction will not be as effective if bin is only half-full. |
If unit should stop midway thru cycle, try pressing firmly on the top of the door while turning key...sometimes you can free the jam. |
Never substitute regular compactor bags for plastic trash can liners, as they can jam the mechanism. |
Servicing the standard Compactor-
If you need service info on most standard compactors, such as those made under the Kenmore, Whirlpool, Maytag, Jenn-Air & some GE brands, we have a few copies of the Step-By-Step manuals that Whirlpool made. How about a Repair Manual?
