The SMCD-2 is a discontinued / legacy Amana trash compactor — no longer in production, but we still service it.
This is a discontinued, parts-only Amana compactor — purely electromechanical with no electronics and no error codes ever. We still service it. Faults are diagnosed by symptom: will not start, motor runs but will not compact, ram stuck down, or starts then stops mid-cycle, traced to the drawer interlock switch, the drive gear, the directional or top-limit switch, the power nuts, or a blown thermal fuse. Our independent technicians fit genuine OEM parts where still available, back the work with a 30-day labor warranty, and quote from a trip-and-diagnostic fee. See trash compactor repair.
