Whirlpool TU950QPX Manual De Propietario

NOTE: You may want to wear gloves since there may be bits of 
glass on the ram cover.
1. Wipe glass particles off of the ram cover with a cloth or paper 

towels. 

2. Remove foods with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild 

detergent in warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a soft 
cloth.

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. 

■

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

■

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 START? Turn the 
Key-Knob (Key-Switch) fully to START and release (on some 
models press foot actuated Start pedal). See “Starting Your 
Compactor.”

■

Did you press ON before pressing START? Press ON 
before pressing START (on some models). See “Starting Your 
Compactor.”

■

Is the ram all the way up? Drawer will open only when ram is 
fully raised.

To raise the ram on models with a Key-Knob (or Key-
Switch): Turn the Key-Knob (Key-Switch) to START and 
release. See “Starting Your Compactor.”

To raise the ram on models with push button controls:
Press OFF, and then press ON. See “Starting Your 
Compactor.”

■

Is the Compress Cycle engaged? Drawer remains LOCKED 
until you reset by pressing foot actuator (on some models).

■

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

■

How often do you notice this? Bottles will not break every 
time. The thickness of a bottle’s glass and the content of the 
trash load below it may keep the bottle from breaking.
