The Frigidaire TCU3D5 is a discontinued / legacy undercounter trash compactor — no longer in production, but we still service it. Later-generation TCU undercounter compactor; we service ram drive, motor and switch faults with genuine OEM parts.

Diagnosis on the TCU3D5 is mechanical from start to finish, since the compactor is electromechanical and publishes no error codes. A unit that will not start, a motor that runs without compacting, a stuck ram, or a drawer that will not latch each point to the interlock switch, the drive gear, the directional switch, or a blown fuse.
