Frequently Asked Questions - 665.14733 KENMORE

What to do if the compactor does not work?

Check that the power cord is plugged into a 3-prong grounded outlet, that the fuse is not blown or circuit breaker tripped, that the drawer is closed properly, and that the key knob is in the ON position.

How to open the drawer if it is stuck?

Make sure the press is fully raised. If the Extra Pac cycle is active, release pressure on the foot pedal to reset. The drawer opens by lifting the handle or pressing the foot pedal.

How to install a new bag?

Open the drawer fully. Place a special compactor paper or plastic bag inside. For a plastic bag, pull the 4 pre-punched holes over the retaining buttons. For a paper bag, slide the edges over the top of the drawer. Press the bag against the walls.

Why are the waste items not compacted?

The drawer must be more than half full for compaction to start. The first waste items are not compressed until the level is sufficient.

How to clean the inside of the compactor?

Remove the bag. Remove the side of the drawer by tilting the latch. Wash the inside of the drawer and the cabinet with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry. Wear gloves to protect against glass debris.

Glass bottles do not break, is this normal?

Yes, this is normal. The thickness of the glass and the load contents may prevent breaking. Sturdy bottles may not break.

How to use the Extra Pac cycle?

Select Extra Pac on the control panel, close the drawer and press the START foot pedal. The press remains down to compact further. The drawer stays locked until you release pressure on the foot pedal.

Where to buy replacement bags and accessories?

Compactor bags and air freshener are available at Sears or through your authorized Kenmore dealer. Order by phone at 1-800-4-MY-HOME.

How to adjust the foot pedal if it rubs the floor?

Mark the rubbing area on each side of the foot pedal. Remove the drawer, draw a line between the marks, and cut the pedal with scissors or a utility knife. Reinstall the drawer and check.

What to do if the compactor makes an abnormal noise?

A broken glass noise is normal. If the noise is unusual, check that no object is caught between the press and the drawer. Make sure bottles and cans are placed in the center of the drawer.

3. Use a ruler and a pencil or chalk to draw a line between the marks on each side of toe plate.
4. Use scissors or utility knife to cut toe plate along line.
5. Replace drawer. If toe plate still rubs floor covering, repeat steps 1-4.

COMPACTOR USE

How Your Compactor Works

The compacting ram is the part of the compactor which compresses the trash. The compacting ram does not go to the bottom of the drawer. You will not see compacting of trash the first few times you load the compactor.

NOTE: The compactor drawer should be more than 12 full before the compactor can begin to compress the load.

You may hear a noise when glass breaks. Strong glass bottles may not break at all. The trash in a full compactor bag will be about 14 the size of its original bulk.

Two identical diagrams of a container with stacked layers and vertical rods, no text or symbols present.

Load bulky trash, bottles, and cans in the center of the drawer. Bottles or cans not placed in the center may become caught between the ram and the drawer. The Drawer Monitor Switch then senses a "misload" and causes the ram to return to the "up" position without compacting.

Loading

IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with hands or feet.

1. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the compactor drawer.

NOTE: Pressing the foot pedal opens the container only 3" to 6" (7.6 cm to 15.2 cm), depending on the load. Use the handle to completely pull out compactor drawer.

1. Place trash in compactor.

■ Wrap or cover wet or messy trash.

■ Do not compact items that may develop offensive odors such as raw meat, fish, grapefruit rinds, disposable diapers, or personal hygiene items.

■ Load bottles or cans on their sides in the center of the drawer. Do not load bottles in an upright position.

NOTE: When the compacting cycle is completed, open the drawer and turn the Key-Knob to "OFF." Remove the Key-Knob and store it out of children's reach.

EXTRA PAC™ Cycle

The EXTRA PAC ^™ cycle extends the use of a bag by putting constant pressure on the trash to keep it from springing back. Regular use of the EXTRA PAC ^™ cycle can increase bag capacity up to 25%.

During the EXTRA PAC ^™ cycle, the ram will stay in the down position for extra compacting. The drawer is locked and cannot be opened when the ram is down. For best results, use the EXTRA PAC ^™ cycle for at least 30 minutes at a time.

To use EXTRA PAC ™ cycle

1. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the compactor drawer. Load trash.

NOTE: When the compacting cycle is done, open the drawer and turn the Key-Knob to "OFF." Remove the Key-Knob and store it out of children's reach.

Air Freshener

The solid air freshener system is designed to help control odors that might develop in the trash. An air freshener disc can be purchased in department stores (not sold with compactor). Place the disk-shaped solid air freshener into the air freshener compartment. The air freshener should last 4 to 6 weeks. It is used more rapidly when the temperature is high or the air is very dry.

Removing a Filled Bag

The compactor bag should be removed when trash is compacted almost to the top of the drawer. If bag is too heavy when full, remove bag when weight is easier to lift and carry.

IMPORTANT: Do not push items down into compactor with hands or feet.

NOTE: Use paper or plastic bags made for use in a compactor. These bags are designed to resist cuts, tears and leaks. Compactor bags sized to fit compactor drawer make managing compacted trash easier. Compactor bags are available from your Sears store or service center.

To remove a filled bag

1. Lift and pull the handle or press the foot pedal to open the compactor drawer completely.
2. You may already have a paper or plastic bag in place. Please refer to appropriate instructions for your bag.

■ If you have a paper bag, lift and fold up the top folded edges of the bag. Fold ends in and bring side flaps together. Fold flaps to close bag.

Cleaning Before a Vacation

If you will be away for more than a couple of days, remove the compactor bag. Remove the Key-Knob (or Key-Switch) and store it out of children's reach.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

Trash is not compacting

■ Is the drawer less than half full? Drawer must be more than half full before trash is compacted.

Your compactor will not operate

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■ Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■ Is the drawer completely closed? Close the drawer firmly and start the compactor again.

Is the Key-Knob turned all the way to ON? Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) fully to ON. See "Starting Your Compactor."

The drawer will not open

■ Did you lift up on the handle to pull drawer out or press foot pedal? Drawer is designed to slightly open until you lift up on the handle to pull drawer out or press on the foot pedal.
■ Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is fully raised.
To raise the ram, lift up on the foot pedal. See "Starting Your Compactor."
Is the EXTRA PAC™ cycle selected? Drawer remains locked until you reset it by lifting up on the foot pedal. See "Starting Your Compactor."

There is not enough compaction or force

■ Do you use the compacting cycle frequently enough? Compacting works best when only a few items are loaded.

Bottles do not break

How often do you notice this? 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.
