This is a top limit directional switch for a trash compactor. The directional switch reverses the motor direction when the trash compactor has reached the top of the drawer. If your trash compactor is not completing the compact cycle properly, you may have to test the switch. If you have a multimeter, you can perform a continuity test before ordering this part to determine if a continuous electrical path is present in the switch. If there is no electrical path in your switch, you will need to replace it. This is an authentic replacement part sourced directly from the original manufacturer.

Trash compactor would not shut off at end of cycle. Would have to manually turn it off.

  • Brian from HOUSTON, TX

  • Screw drivers
Removed compactor from opening. Using screw driver unthreaded 4 screws from top and then removed the on/off dial. Face plate came off easy and provided access to relay switch bank. Unscrewed two screws which allowed both relay switches to be removed and replaced. Recommend replacing both relay switches. Reassembled and compactor work ed fine. Very easy job. If your compactor is making a machine gun noise during the return cycle then this will solve your problem.

Had to hold foot petal in up position for trash compactor ram to complete cycle

  • Mark from SCOTTSDALE, AZ
  • Easy
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Screw drivers
Note that the above problem was not due to a bad direction switch. The centrifugal switch (not a replaceable part) inside the motor had failed. Replacing the entire motor is the solution. I downloaded a service manual for this model which decribes how to replace the motor.
