INTERLOCK SWITCH

The interlock switch is a single-pole, single-throw momentary

type. It is located on the right side behind the air scentry panel.

Its contacts are normally open. the contacts close when the door

is closed. It is activated by the actuator located on the back of

the door. Another switch located against the interlock switch is

to provide the “No-Jam” circuitry function. This switch is nor-

mally open and bypasses the interlock to provide “No-Jam”

capability. It can be replaced in the same manner as the inter-

lock switch.

2. Disconnect leads one by one and attach to new switch.

CONTINUAL STRIPPING OF TRUNNION NUT:

REMOVING PLASTIC BAGS FROM
TRUNNION NUT

Only the trash compactor bags specifically designed and sold

by Broan for use in the compactor should be used. Regular

drawn into the mechanism. Removal of those bags is not cov-

ered by the warranty.
To remove bag from trunnion nut:
1. Remove back of compactor.
2. If possible to slide drawer slightly, remove the door by slid-

ing out the two hinge pins and then prying the door over the

lip on the drawer.

3. Liberally spray drive screw and trunnion nut with WD-40

R

or similar.

4. Use 15/16" socket, and extension, and a 16" ratchet (for le-

verage) and manually turn the drive screw clockwise. (See

section on manually raising and lowering ram.) By turning

the drive screw clockwise, you will help back the bag out of

the trunnion nut.

wheel bearing grease.
