GCG1700LII
GE Profile GCG1700LII 15-Inch-Compactor Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Ram not starting
- Drawer interlock problems
- Drawer binding
- Bin release not working
- Ram slowing
Sized for a 15 in opening, the GCG1700LII is a built-in GE Profile compactor with 1.4 cu ft of capacity and a 2300 lb ram. A removable key operates the Lock/Start control, and the bin releases from the side of the slide-out drawer. Two bags are listed with it.
Our first checks are the key switch, the interlock and the drawer’s alignment, followed by the motor and the drive. If the bin release does not work, we examine the latch and the side mechanism. A ram that slows is checked under a normal load. We also look at the cabinet fit so the compactor sits square.
We confirm the model and serial from the label before ordering a part. The price is given in writing first, and the work is warranted for 30 days.

What is a side release bin?
It is a bin that releases from the side of the drawer. If the release sticks, we check the latch and the side mechanism for wear or a bag caught in the way.
Why does the ram not start after I turn the key?
The key switch or the drawer interlock may not be closing. We test both, then the motor circuit, and we explain which part needs attention before we quote.
Does cabinet fit matter for a built-in compactor?
Yes. A compactor that sits crooked can bind the drawer and upset the interlock, so we check that it is square in the opening before we replace anything.
