	Check this switch for continuity. When the switch is in "solid pack" position, the "O" & "O-B" circuit should be closed and the "O" & "Y" should be open. When the switch is in "normal" position, the "O" & "O-B" circuit should be open and the "O" & "Y" should be closed. Replace the switch if the reading is different. In order to provide the right part number for the switch I need the color of the control panel. Gene.

	Originally Posted by: iapoppee I have a Kenmore compactor modle#665.13605790. It compacts part way then sounds like it is stripping gears. then I have to turn the start knob to return the ram. Can you tell me what might cause this problem? Thank you. There is a cycle switch on the left side of the control panel. In what position is it? Gene.
