Repair & Advice
UNPLUG THE COMPACTOR FROM THE ELECTRICITY, Remove the cover where the switch is located- two small phillips screws, disconnect the three wires(note where each one goes or take a picture), Remove the two screws that hold the switch in place with the 3/8 nut driver. Install the new switch and reverse the above steps. Simple!
