Frequently Asked Questions - JKTPX151HL JENN-AIR

How to install the compactor under a countertop?
Place the compactor near its location. Plug into a 3-prong grounding outlet. Attach the upper mounting brackets under the counter with the provided screws. Adjust the leveling legs so the appliance is level. If necessary, use the bracket holes to adjust the position flush with the frame or front panel.
How to open the compactor drawer?
Lift and pull the handle, or press the pedal (located at the bottom of the compactor) to open the drawer. The pedal opens the drawer 7.6 to 15.2 cm depending on the load. Make sure the latch is unlocked.
What to do if the compactor does not start?
Check that the power cord is plugged into a working outlet and the fuse/circuit breaker is not blown. Ensure the drawer is fully closed and the latch is locked. Turn the key switch to ON and press the pedal Start button. If the problem persists, contact customer service.
How to use the compression cycle (Compress)?
Open the drawer, place the trash, then set the Compress switch to ON. Close the drawer and press the pedal Start button. The ram stays in the down position for at least 30 minutes to compress the trash. To open the drawer, press the Start button again to raise the ram.
How to change the compactor bag?
Open the drawer, release the bag edges from the four retaining buttons. Fold the bag flaps and close with a twist tie. Open the side latch, tilt the drawer to the right to release pressure, then lift the bag. To install a new one, place the folded bag in the drawer, open it, and thread the holes over the retaining buttons. Push well into the corners.
What to do if the drawer does not open?
Check if the compression cycle is active (the drawer is locked). Press the pedal Start button to raise the ram. If the problem persists, set the Compress switch to OFF. Make sure the latch is unlocked. Push the drawer inward to disengage the lock.
How to maintain the air filter?
The charcoal air filter is located under the filter cover. To replace it, open the drawer and set the key switch to OFF. Insert your fingers into the cover and pull to release the tabs. Remove the old filter, insert the new one, then replace the cover by snapping the tabs into place. The replacement filter part number is 4151750.
Why is the compactor noisy?
Chain and sprocket noise is normal during operation. The air filter fan produces a hum; you can turn it off by setting the Air Filter switch to OFF. If the noise becomes abnormal, check that no objects are obstructing moving parts and contact technical service.
How to install a custom panel on the drawer?
The panel must have a minimum thickness of 1.9 cm and maximum dimensions of 74.6 cm height and 38.1 cm width. Align the bottom of the panel with the support tab at the front of the drawer. Fasten it with four #8 x 2.5 cm wood screws from inside the drawer (7 holes available). Add a 38.1 cm x 1.3 cm quarter-round along the top.
Where can I find the model and serial numbers?
They are located behind the compactor drawer, on the right side. Open the drawer and look at the right inner wall. Note these numbers before contacting customer service or ordering parts.

COMPACTOR USE

How Your Compactor Works

The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which compresses the trash.

IMPORTANT: The compacting ram stops 7" (18 cm) from the bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash until the drawer is more than 1/2 full.

You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles may not break. The trash in a full compactor bag will be about 1/4 the size of its original bulk.

natural_image Illustration of a hand using a tool to adjust or install a mechanical component (no text or symbols visible)

■ The drawer is clean and free of debris.

NOTE: An unlatched drawer can cause the drawer monitor switch to stay open. This will make the ram return and the compactor will continue to run. Attempt to push the drawer inwards to stop the compactor. The continuous running of the compactor can also be attributed to debris in the drawer area. If it is difficult to open or close the drawer this may be due to either the drawer latch not being locked or debris in the drawer area.

TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING

JENN-AIR JKTPX151HL - WARNING - 1

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
COMPACTOR WILL NOT OPERATECheck that the power supply cord is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.Check the type of wall plug the compactor is plugged into. It is possible the compactor power cord is plugged into an outlet controlled by a wall switch. This can occur when the wall switch was meant for a garbage disposal outlet.A household fuse may have blown, or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.Make sure the drawer is completely closed. Open the drawer to ensure the latch is locked.Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor.Check that the Key-knob is set to ON. See the “Starting Your Compactor” section.Press the foot-actuated start button. See the “Starting Your Compactor” section.
TRASH IS NOT COMPACTINGDrawer must be more than half full before trash is compacted. The ram stops 7" (17.8 cm) from the bottom of the drawer.
DRAWER WILL NOT OPENThe Compress Cycle may be engaged. The drawer will remain locked until you reset by pressing the foot-actuated Start button. Turn the compress Cycle off by pushing the Compress switch to OFF.Push on the drawer front in an attempt to raise the ram. Be sure the latch is locked.Press the foot-actuated Start button. See the “Starting Your Compactor” section.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH COMPACTION OR FORCECompacting works best when the Compress cycle is used. Keep trash compressed for a minimum of 30 minutes.
BOTTLES DO NOT BREAKFactors that affect bottle breakage: Bottles will not break every time. The thickness of the bottle's glass and the content of the trash load below it may keep the bottle from breaking.
COMPACTOR WILL NOT TURN OFFPush on the drawer front to attempt to engage the drawer monitor switch. Open drawer and be sure the latch is locked.The foot actuated Start switch may not be engaged or the lever that pushes the Start switch in may be bent. Push on the lever to stop the compactor. If needed, bend the lever back into position.Debris in the drawer area will cause the door to disengage from the drawer monitor switch causing the compactor to keep running. This can also keep the compactor from starting.
DRAWER IS HITTING THE CABINETThe cabinet opening should be 15^1/4 (38.7 cm) minimum with at least an 1/8 (3.2 mm) clearance on either side.Make sure the compactor is centered in the cabinet opening.Make sure the latch is locked. An unlatched drawer will cause the front door to be wobbly and offset from center.Check for debris on the drawer tracks or under the drawer. Debris may cause the drawer to lean to one side or not sit properly on the tracks.The compactor may be set too high or not level. The compactor can be raised or lowered with front leveling.Ensure the drawer is located on the tracks. If it is not, remove the drawer and reinstall.
COMPACTOR MOVING DURING OPERATIONCheck that the retaining brackets are installed to the cabinet. See the “Countertop Mounting” or “Cabinet-front Mounting” sections.
DRAWER IS WOBBLY OR LOOSENOTE: By design, it is normal for the drawer to move slightly side to side.An unlatched door will wobble more than normal. Check that the door latch is in the locked position.The screws on the drawer front (door) may be loose. With a Phillips screwdriver, check to ensure the screws holding the door to the drawer are secure.
COMPACTOR IS NOISYThe noise could be normal operation: The compactor is driven by a steel chain and steel sprockets.The fan will make a humming noise when on. Set the air filter switch to OFF to turn the fan off.
