We Repair Multiple Types of Trash Compactors
You might not realize how much you depend on your trash compactor until it stops working. Without a working trash compactor, you’ll be juggling about four times the amount of trash that you’re used to. Before resigning yourself to this arduous task, call in the professionals at Mr. Appliance of Bel Air. We repair several types of trash compactors, including:
- Freestanding Compactors – These trash compactors have finished tops to provide additional counter space. Freestanding compactors are sometimes made with flexible features like built-in cutting boards.
- Under-the-Counter Compactors – These trash compactors are installed between cabinets and do not have finished tops. A trim kit helps an under-the-counter trash compactor blend in with your kitchen cabinetry seamlessly.
- Convertible Compactors – These trash compactors add versatility to your kitchen and can be installed as freestanding or under-the-counter appliances.

Solving Common Trash Compactor Problems
Most household appliances require routine maintenance to maximize their lifespan and minimize the number of necessary repairs. Trash compactors are no exception, and when problems crop up, you need our professional plumbing experts on your side. We can repair the following common trash compactor issues:
- Trash compactor not working – Make sure the drawer on the trash compactor is completely closed. Check the fuse, circuit breaker, GFCI, and power cord. Make sure the key lock switch is set all the way to start. If you still can’t get your appliance to work, give us a call.
- Trash compactor not compacting garbage – Your trash compactor has one job, but sometimes it fails to compact trash. This may be due to a burned-out motor or slack, broken driving belts.
- Door or drawer not opening – Check to ensure the ram has returned to the top of the compactor. Next, check for damaged or dirty guides, tracks, wheels, or rollers. Our technicians are happy to help if something looks broken or you are unable to determine the problem.
- Noisy trash compactor – Trash compactors make noise during operation, but excessive noise can indicate a problem. The trash compactor’s belts, motor, and gears engage to compress garbage and make noise that you’re likely used to.
- Trash compactor smells bad – We all know that trash can smell bad, but if your compactor still smells after taking out the garbage, you may have trash stuck to the ram or other areas of the appliance. You should periodically clean your trash compactor or contact us for trash compactor cleaning service.
