A compactor whose ram stalls part way is usually a belt or a drive nut problem, sometimes an obstruction jammed in the bin. The safety interlocks stop the motor when the drawer is open, so diagnosis has to follow the service instructions rather than guesswork.
Owners can keep the bin and rails clean and use proper compactor bags, which control most odour complaints. Drive work is technician territory with the appliance unplugged.
