GCG1500LBB
GE Profile GCG1500LBB Compactor Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Ram not starting with the drawer closed
- Drawer not latching or the interlock switch not closing
- Ram stopping partway through the cycle
- Drawer sticking on its slide
- Odor or bag tearing during compaction
The GCG1500LBB is a GE Profile 15 in built-in compactor that holds 1.4 cu ft and presses with 2300 lb of ram force. A removable key operates its Lock/Start control, the bin releases from the side, and the drawer slides out. Two compactor bags (WC60X5017 is the optional bag number) come with it. The GCG1500LWW is the listed white counterpart.
Compactors are built into a 15 in cabinet opening, so we plan the pull-out and keep the power off while we work. When the ram will not start, we check the key switch and the drawer interlock first, since the ram only runs with the drawer closed. If the ram stalls, we examine the drive motor, the chain or screw, and the bag for overloading.
The model and serial on the label tell us which parts fit, so we read them first. A written price comes before work, and our repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Why will the ram not start?
The key switch and the drawer interlock must both be satisfied before the ram runs. We test each switch and the drawer alignment, then the motor circuit, and we explain what we find.
What does the removable key do?
It is part of the Lock/Start control listed for this model. If the compactor ignores the key, we test the switch and its wiring before looking at anything more expensive.
Is GCG1500LWW the same compactor?
The listing shows a white finish for that number. We still confirm the number on your label before we order parts, so they match your compactor and its panel.
