I have a Kitchenaid trash compactor model number KUCS03CTSS that is 18 months old and it makes a grinding noise when compacting. From what i can tell is when the ram gets to its down position it starts grinding instead of going up. I can use the on/off switch to turn the unit off and when i turn the unit back on it grinding has gone away and the ram comes up. This happens in normal postion on the push button switch. I replaced the top limiter switch and that didnt fix the problem. I also inspected the power nuts and could see no cracks and the ram stops look good. Any ideas? Thanks Tommy
