Compactor won't stop
Remove the compactor drawer. Remove the front cover from the controls. TAKE A PHOTO OF THE WIRING TO THE EXISTING SWITCH! Remove the screw from the side of the switch and pull the switch out from the machine. You have to look very carefully at the switch to see the color labels on each prong of the switch. Attach gray wire to top prong (GR), red wire to middle prong (R) and so forth. Compare your work to the photo you took. Replace the switch, front plate and drawer. IT WORKS. YAY. Warning, my husband is dyslexic and attached the wires in reverse order and the compactor did not run at all. So, be sure you match wire to label.

All 4 compactor buttons were missing. The bag kept getting pulled down when we'd run the compactor.
I just used the accompanying screw to attach the buttons to the 4 holes in the drawer. Simple stuff.

I do think I read that the Jenn-Air bags used to come with precut holes, and the bag wold slide over the buttons, holding it in place. I jus get the bag lined up and pulled over the drawer, and cut the holes myself. It works perfectly.

Compactor would not open. Ram was down
Once I discovered that the ram was down, I had to determine why. Opened up the bottom and discoverer the drive gear was broken. Ordered the parts kit and made the repair. Did not know what the other parts in the kit were for, but it works.

Rocker switch was not operating properly
Took the 2 screws off the front, popped the switch out, copied the wires on to the new switch, and put it back. New switch does not have a light, so had to eleminate one power wire, put it back together, and it worked just like new.??
