What makes TC8700XBP0 stand out.

  • 4:1 compaction ratio
  • Built-in installation
  • Pull-out drawer
  • Legacy parts support

The Whirlpool TC8700XBP0 is a discontinued / legacy built-in trash compactor — no longer in production, but we still service it. A 15" built-in compactor from the legacy TC8700 family, now parts-only; trailing finish and series suffixes vary by production run.

These compactors are electromechanical with no error codes. Faults are read by symptom: will not start, motor runs but will not compact, a stuck ram, or a drawer that will not latch, traced to the interlock switch, drive gear, directional switch, or a blown fuse.
