Hi doglaw44
If your trash compactor has the cycle switch with Solid Pack and Normal positions, make sure the switch is in Normal position.
Check the on-off-start switch. After you turn it to Start and release, it should automatically return to On position. If it got stuck in Start position, the motor will try to restart, causing a banging noise.
