Many repair companies no longer work on trash compactors. We do.
Our team repairs built-in and freestanding trash compactors in Colorado Springs.
Call (614) 543 4437 to book trash compactor repair.
A failed motor, worn drive belt or chain, a broken power screw, or a bad switch can stop compacting.
The drawer switch, key switch, or directional switch may have failed. A thermal overload can also trip.
A worn power nut or a limit switch problem can leave the ram stuck.
Drawer rollers, slides, or a bent drawer can make it stick.
Worn gears, belts, or dry power screws can grind and squeal.
Many compactors have a fan and filter to control odors. Replace the filter regularly and clean the drawer.
Compactor stuck or not working? Call (614) 543 4437 now.
A trash compactor relies on a motor, a drive chain or screw, a ram, a drawer and safety switches. When the ram will not move, the cause is often a worn drive part, a failed switch or a jammed bag. A drawer that sticks or will not close fully can stop the unit from running because the safety switch stays open. Odors build up in the drawer and the air filter, and older units may need parts that are harder to find. We check the switches, the motor and the drive, and we tell you honestly whether repair makes sense for your model.
Not sure what is wrong with your trash compactor? Call (614) 543 4437 or book online. We diagnose it, give you the price first and fix it right.
If the ram still does not move, do not reach under it. Call us so we can free it safely.
Trash compactors use strong mechanical force. Always remove the key or turn off the compactor before reaching inside the drawer. Do not try to free a stuck ram by hand.
Other makes and models are welcome. Call us with the brand, or see all the brands we repair.

Yes. Most compactor parts are still available. Our technician will confirm part availability for your model.
The motor, belt, power screws, or switches may have failed.
Check that the key is in the ON position and the drawer is fully closed. If it still will not start, a switch or motor may need service.
Empty it before the bag is full, wipe the drawer and replace the charcoal filter if your model has one.
