GCG1700PII
GE Profile GCG1700PII Pedal-Compactor Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Anti-jam reversing the ram early
- Toe pedal not opening the drawer
- Front or side bin release sticking
- Ram not starting
- Drive noise under load
The GCG1700PII is a GE Profile compactor for a 15 in opening, offering 1.4 cu ft and a 2300 lb ram. The listing shows automatic anti-jam, removable-key Lock/Start control, a toe or foot pedal, and a bin that releases from the side or the front. Two bags are listed with it.
With anti-jam, a ram that reverses is reacting to resistance, so we test the drive, the limit switches and the load. A front or side release that sticks is a latch matter, and the toe pedal rides on a linkage we check for wear. If the ram will not start, the key switch and drawer interlock come first.
Reading the label gives us the model and serial, and that decides the parts. A written price comes before the work, with a 30-day workmanship warranty after.

- Automatic anti-jam

Can the bin come out from the front?
The listing says the bin releases from the side or the front. If the release sticks, we check the latch and the release mechanism for wear.
Why does anti-jam stop my compactor?
It reverses when the ram meets resistance. We check whether the cause is a bad load, a worn drive or a limit switch, and we explain the result before we quote.
What does the toe pedal do?
It opens the drawer without using your hands. If it does nothing, we check the linkage and the latch, which are the usual weak points.
