Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor again.

all the way to START?
Turn Control Knob fully to START and release.

START?
Press ON button before pressing START button.
Trash is not compacting.
• Is the drawer less than 1/3 full?
Drawer must be at least 1/3 full before compactor

The drawer won't open.
• Is the ram all the way up?
