Your compactor won't operate There is not enough compaction or force ■ Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough? Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded. ■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. ■ Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. ■ Is the drawer completely closed? Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor again. ■ Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START? Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) fully to START and release (on some models).
