Kitchen aid trash compactor model KUCC151LSS0 5 years old.

on its way down it is making a loud banging noise , the ram goes up and down but just more loudly all of a sudden.

I am assuming greasing the ram screw would fix the problem but not sure plus I have no schematic diagrams. and i don't want to start tearing it apart with out a little insight from the pros.

any advice and some diagrams would be helpful

thanks in advance
