i have the same exact problem. was it the bottom switch that needed replacement?

The switch at the lower right hand side used to activate the compacter was burned and sticking in the IN position causing the compactor to continue to run. Swapped out the switch and works fine.

Thanks for any help you can give me. If the model number and the problem are exactly the same, then the solution is probable the same as well. Gene.

Also, when I set the switch for SOLID PACK, it doesn't. It goes down and immediately comes back up and finished by making the THUMP THUMP THUMP rapid sound until i try to open it. Most likely the problem is a bad start-run rotary switch. - The start switch Part number: AP4429577
