KitchenAid Trash Compactor Model #KUCC151JBS0. After you hear it crushing the trash, it starts making an extremely loud banging, vibrating noise that does not stop and I need to turn it off. I can't see anything stuck inside on the top. Please help. Thank you.

synderella and rromero4860,

Most likely the problem with your trash compactors is a bad push button switch on the control panel.

In order to provide the right part number I need the color of the control panel.

Similar problem the ram is not stopping at the top just oscillatiing up and down. Motor switch is good mometary switch was bad and replaced. When ever safety switch is activated ram moves and switch glows with alot of juice. Have not tested limit switch yet. any ideas

[Gene]

Make sure the rotary "start-run" switch is not in the Start position constantly. If the return spring inside this switch is broken then the switch has to be replaced.

- The part number for the start-run switch is AP3180525
