I have a Whirlpool Trashmasher Compactor (installed in 1985). The ram is stuck in the down position, and I cannot open the compactor drawer door. When I turn the switch on, I hear the motor humming but the ram is not moving. The drawer door is fully closed but slightly rotated clockwise. How can I get the ram upward if the motor just hums, and if that is not possible, how do I get the compactor out to repair or replace it?
