All Installation Instructions for Jenn-Air Trash Compactor TC407W

compactor was crushing the bag holder

easy ... got the new bag holder and replaced old one. the impressive part of the process is how easy it was to get the part info from partselect website. could have spun my wheels a lot without that.

the switch did not click off

very easy to fix. all it took was pulling the compactor out to unplug,take off the removable front nob, unscrew two screws located just below the front panel.using needle nose pliers to remove the actual switch, unplug the wires conected to the switch and put the new one on the same way. It almost took me longer to write this discription than it took to fix!

Drawer handle was broke.

The repair was simple and expensive for a little piece of plastic that was the wrong color and only color available. We have a white trash compactor and had to order a black one. The hardest and most time consuming part of the repair was painting the handle. In order to paint a Black Plastic handle white we had to use special primer and special paint. Before using the primer, we had to wash the plastic handle with paint thinner, then rinse and let dry completely. Other than the cost and the aggravation, it was fine. And it was less than buying a new one. : )

compactor will not stop when compaction complete on top cycle

take 2 screws out on top cover with key switch. remove two screw holding directional switch. remove wires, one at a time, and place on the new switch. put new switch in place with two screws. put front cover on with two screws and test. works like a charm.
