Help! I just got this compactor second hand from someone who was getting new appliances. It looks fine and all but has two problems:

1-The door doesnt quite sit straight, its like there is something small causing a misalignment on the right side, but the slides and rollers work beautifully.

2-It doesn't compact! When I try either mode (solid or normal) it makes noise like its working and then stops. If I hold the switch in the on or start position for a few seconds it does the same thing but when it would normally stop the whole machine just shuts down, filter and all! Then I smell something like a burning smell... I think my motor is going out, but I'm not sure...

Help!

Make sure the latch on the right side of the container is locked properly.

Remove the top panel. Pull out the ram and check the power nuts (#12 on the diagram)
