They measure approximately 15 inches wide x 15 inches high and are made from 50 percent post-consumer recycled plastic.

Trenton - For model number KTTS505ESS0

My kitchen aid trash compactor works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. When it is having a problem it seems like it is in up position and motor tries to start and stop. Finally it stops and after a while it will work again.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Trenton, thank you for your question. The two most common parts that cause that issue are Directional Switch Part Number: WP777811 and Safety Switch Part Number: 9871829. We would recommend replacing those two parts first. I hope this helps.

My foot start pedal does not start the compactor, there is a plunger that opens and closes when released but no operation . Could the plunger not be sending to the activation ?

Linda - For model number KTTS505ESS0

My compactor will run but won’t shut off at the top and there is a hammering noise. From research, I’m thinking that it is the Top Direction Switch, but I only want to take it apart once. Is there anything else that I should replace? Off switch? Drives?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Linda, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the start switch, part number FIX11747583. When it is shorted, the compactor runs without stopping. If that does not take care of the issue, then the problem is most likely to be related to the directional switch, part number FIX11744742. Before replacing any switch, please run a multimeter test on switches. If all switches are good then our suspect is the drive motor, chain, or drive gear kit. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

The drawer requires a bit of jiggling when you depress the opening latch before it opens.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Robin, thank you for getting in touch. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the spring, part number PS11744735, to solve the problem. Glad to be of help!

William - For model number KTTS505ESS0

Kitchen Aid compactor will doesn’t stop. I have to open the drawer and cut on. When in close the door it starts running through the cycle. At the end of cycle it starts chatting. To shut down I have to open the drawer with the foot pedal. If I do not place the switch in off position when I close the drawer it starts back the chatting. I have already tried the top limit switch and it made no difference.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi William, Thank you for your question. If you have replaced the top limit switch and the compactor will not stop, the start switch is malfunctioning and it will need to be replaced. We hope this helps!
