Default Whirlpool Trash Masher

My trash compactor will lower the ram but will continue to run and the ram will stay down, not reversing back up. If I shut if off and then turn back on the ram will return to the full up position. Model # TU8003XLP0. Any help would be appreciated.

Most likely the problem with your trash compactor is a bad directional switch.

The complete instructions how to test and replace it you can find in the technical data sheet.

- The part number for the directional switch AP2984168

- Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool trash compactor Model TU8003XLP0
