REPLACED 38 YEAR OLD UNIT

This unit was slightly smaller than the unit it replaced. This was fortunate in my case because I had no trouble fitting it into the existing space. While the replaced compactor was an absolute bear to remove I think it was because we had added a hardwood floor, had the cabinets refaced and had a ne...

Buyer beware

After about 6 months I noticed some sluggishness when opening the unit to place refuse inside. Today I took the fiberboard side covers off & found both the plastic ram stoppers were destroyed. As expensive as this unit is I expected far better quality from GE then what I've found. I have several oth...

Love the way the compactor blends in with the kitchen cabinetry. The reinforced, handled insert to lift out compacted refuse is a very nice feature and the controlled foot pedal to open and compact is very convenient.

Two Years is all you can get?

We have had this compactor for less than 2 years. The toe push button has pulled through the metal. It does not matter that everything else works well. If you can't get it open it doesn't really matter does it?

Official Response by GE Appliances - BV

We’re sorry to hear the door on your compactor will not open.One of the most common reasons this can be happening is because the ram is not all the way up. To fix this: Lift up on the foot pedal and release to allow ram to complete a cycle. If you are still having problems with the door, we recommend service for your compactor. You can schedule an appointment with an authorized GE Appliances technician by calling 1-800-432-2737, or schedule online at this link here: http://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm

Needs handle and too noisy.

Trash compactor is replacing one I installed myself 14 years ago. Motor needs replacing but part is no longer available. New compactor looks similar to old one except drawer does not have a handle. This isn't good because you now leave fingerprints on the front stainless steel drawer front when pushing it closed. All competitive models still have handle. Compactor is also louder when operating.

Official Response by GE Appliances - BV

We are more than happy to assist with your new trash compactor. It is not abnormal for this appliance to be noisy while in use. However, we will be sure to pass your feedback regarding the lack of a handle along to our product team for review.
