What is the purpose of the switch mounted to the motor?I thought that was the directional switch.
For model number TU8100XTP3
Hello Terry, thank you for your question. The switch on the motor is a centrifugal switch. The switch is used to disconnect the starting winding of the motor once the motor approaches its normal operating speed. The directional switch and the centrifugal switch work together to direct the ram one way, and then return it to the original position. I hope this helps.

On the down stroke the motor does not reverse. It makes a ratcheting noise and I have to push the off button. Then when I hit the on button it comes up. Is this a motor problem? I was told the motor has a built in reverse switch in it, is this correct?
For model number GX900QPPS2
Hello Andy,
Thanks for your question. The motor does have a reversing switch, and the most common solution to your issue is replacing the drive gear from the drive gear kit, part number PS398589.
I hope this helps.
Motor hums when turned on. I cleaned the entire unit including the gear box. I turned the gear several turns and it seems to be free. Motor still hums. Is this a bad motor?
For model number KUCC151JSS0
Hi George, thank you for your question. Unfortunately more than likely. You may want to test your directional switch just in case. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I have replaced the drive gears 2x and the bump stoppers. The motor seems to want to go too far as it doesn't reverse at the bottom until after the gears skip or ultimately strip. Is this a centrifugal switch or motor problem?

I have replaced the gears and the ram stops on my trash compactor however, they have been stripped again. It appears that the motor w10439651 wants to continue past what should be the bottom reverse point. I observed a loud noise accompanied with gear slipping before it reverses to go back up. Is this caused by the centrifugal switch 777971 and can it be replaced without replacing the whole motor?

Am i able to buy just the directional switch or do i have to buy the motor assembly to get one? Compactor is 28 years old. Thanks.
For model number TU8100XTP3
Hello Terry,
Thank you for your question The directional switch for your model is under part PS11744742. We hope this helps.
The ram wasn't stopping so we replaced the directional switch, which solved the problem. A week later it started acting up again. We figured the switch must be bad so we replaced with another one. That solved the problem. Turns out the switches were not defective, according to the ohm reader. We didn't think to test the switches before replacing them. What else might cause the ram from stopping if it's not the switches? And why does the problem get fixed when we replace the switch?
For model number GC900QPKQ0
Hello Amy, Thank you for the question. We suggest checking the Drive Gear Kit. If your compactor ram is getting stuck, there is excess noise during its cycle, or if your compactor does not stop at the end of its cycle, the driving gear may be the issue. We hope this helps!
I just replaced the start switch. Now my unit will only work if I hold the start button. It's supposed to get it started and then run a cycle.
For model number TC507B
