When i try ro run my compactor, it just hums. Twice, I have taken the outside shell off the compactor, taped the switches, and the compactor ran fine. I put the shell back on and for several weeks it continued to run fine. Then all the sudden it just hums again. I have confirmed there is nothing stuck around he ram.

I have not seen a solution yet

Thanks for your reply!! The foot peddle and swith appear to be working fine; ie when I push the peddle or the #309 switch it causes the motor to hum. I can take the unit apart, manually turn the drive gear to move the Ram, and the unit will work to 5-10 times and then go back to humming. This does not appear to be the #309 switch.

Thoughts??

I have the same problem,and have looked all over the internet,everyone has the same problem with all Ge compactors,They are defective,mine quit after 18 months,GE is no help at all,I will never buy another ge appliance of any kind,I bought a new house and bought 5 Ge adora line appliances,within 18 months 3 have broken,The trash compactor switch was unplugged inside the unit when it arrived for installation,I just ordered a new motor for mine,since I can't get anybody to work on it,I am just guessing that this will fix it,$165 is high,but this is my only option,other than pulling it out and turning motor 1/2 turn by hand everytime i use it.

I will post here in about a week and let you know if I wasted my money,or this fixes it.Motor says made in china right on it,the whole unit was made in Mexico,I hope Ge goes out of business
