When i turn the knob to start nothing happens. It used to work periodically but finally stopped working all together.

Hello Richard, thank you for writing. This sounds like an issue with the Rotary Switch Kit, but sadly the replacement for your model is discontinued. You will need to reach out to GE directly for a substitution part number. Please feel free to get back in touch with us if they provide one. Thank you!

Unite is hard to open door. I didn’t see anything damage or broken. What could be the problem ?
For model number GCG1540F0SS
Hello Ernie, thank you for your question. If you have trouble opening or closing the drawer on your trash compactor, you may have a defective roller or rollers. If the rollers become damaged or lack lubrication the drawer may be difficult to move. To inspect, lift up on the drawer and remove from the opening. I hope this helps.
