Trash compactor would not shut off at end of cycle. Would have to manually turn it off.
Removed compactor from opening. Using screw driver unthreaded 4 screws from top and then removed the on/off dial. Face plate came off easy and provided access to relay switch bank. Unscrewed two screws which allowed both relay switches to be removed and replaced. Recommend replacing both relay switches. Reassembled and compactor worked fine. Very easy job. If your compactor is making a machine gun noise during the return cycle then this will solve your problem.

RAM was crooked. Power Nut was stripped.
Followed YouTube instructions. Was relatively easy to dismantle, though on this GE Profile model compactor, needed to partially undo the front panel to provide room to remove the RAM. Works great now!!

Ram would not return. Threads on left side Power Nut were stripped
I watched you tube videos on how to dismantle and replace both Power Nuts. Job was not difficult but took a few hours to disassemble and repair. Compactor works as good as it ever has. If you are handy I would recommend doing this type repair.

Had to hold foot petal in up position for trash compactor ram to complete cycle
Note that the above problem was not due to a bad direction switch. The centrifugal switch (not a replaceable part) inside the motor had failed. Replacing the entire motor is the solution. I downloaded a service manual for this model which decribes how to replace the motor.

Would not stay in cycle.
First I removed the on/off switch cover. Then I removed the The on/off switch assembly to access the limit switches.Then I found which switch was bad and replaced it.

Motor kept running @ end of cycle. Had to open door and power off after each cycle
Unplugged unit. Took basket out, slide unit out, remove top and front panel. Remove power switch to get to the two directional switches. Disconnected the one on right be cause the arm was loose and not operating. Removed it and replaced it with new switch. Part #WC21X10004. Put it all back together and it works right.
