Compactor won't stop
Remove the compactor drawer. Remove the front cover from the controls. TAKE A PHOTO OF THE WIRING TO THE EXISTING SWITCH! Remove the screw from the side of the switch and pull the switch out from the machine. You have to look very carefully at the switch to see the color labels on each prong of the switch. Attach gray wire to top prong (GR), red wire to middle prong (R) and so forth. Compare your work to the photo you took. Replace the switch, front plate and drawer. IT WORKS. YAY. Warning, my husband is dyslexic and attached the wires in reverse order and the compactor did not run at all. So, be sure you match wire to label.

All 4 compactor buttons were missing. The bag kept getting pulled down when we'd run the compactor.
I just used the accompanying screw to attach the buttons to the 4 holes in the drawer. Simple stuff.
I do think I read that the Jenn-Air bags used to come with precut holes, and the bag wold slide over the buttons, holding it in place. I jus get the bag lined up and pulled over the drawer, and cut the holes myself. It works perfectly.

2 of 3 crew connectors on old handle broke off, making pulling action of opening compactor wobbly, loose.
1. Loosen screws to remove old handle. 2. Insert new handle into position, align holes on steel backing with connectors on back of handle. 3. Screw on 3 screws, beginning with middle, then left & right. 4. Tighten to firmness. 5. Close & open to test for installation compketeness.
