Whirlpool TC4700X - Manual (Page 14)

If You Need Service Or Assistance
We suggest you follow these
steps:
1. Before calling for assistance ...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and tlx yourself without tools of any
kind.
If your compactor won't operate:
• Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with
the proper voltage?
• Have you checked your home's main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
• Is the drawer completely closed?
• Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to START
before it is released (TC4700ATLI4700
model series)?
• Is the Key-Switch turned to ON (TC8700/
TC8750 model series)?
• Did you press the ON button before pressing
the START button (TC8700/TC8750 model
series)?
Drawer won't open:
• Drawer will open only when ram is all the way
up.
• To raise the ram, turn the Key-Knob to START
and release (TC4700/TU4700 model series).
• To raise the ram, press the OFF button, then
press the ON button (TC8700/TC8750 model
series).
If trash is not compacting:
• Is the drawer loaded properly? If anything gets
between the ram and the drawer, the ram will
return to the "up" position, without compacting.
• Drawer must be at least 1/3 full before compactor
will compact.
Not enough compaction or force:
• Compacting works best when only a few items
are loaded. Use the compacting cycle frequently.
Bottles don't break:
• Not all bottles will break every time, depending on
the bottle and the trash load below it.
