Chassis Or Cabinet

The Actuator Switch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool trash compactors. This part activates the compaction cycle when the trash compactor's door is shut and locked, ensuring the unit operates safely and effectively. The actuator switch signals the control system to start the compaction process, an essential step in reducing the volume of waste.

Causes of a malfunctioning actuator switch can include prolonged use leading to mechanical wear, electrical failures within the switch itself, or misalignment issues with the compactor's door. 

Symptoms of a bad Actuator Switch Kit include:

• The compactor fails to start the compaction cycle
• The system starts only intermittently or not at all
• Unexpected halting of the compaction process
• The need to manually engage or adjust the switch to start the cycle

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Used for direct drive washing machines. Complete assembly includes 2 level mechanism links, 1 level mechanism spring, 1 knurled pin, 2 rear feet, 1 pad plate, 1 suspension plate, 1 base pad, and 1 suspension spring retainer.

This front panel is the replacement control-panel trim that restores the appliance's appearance and protects the control area from dirt and damage. It gives a clean, finished look and supports the control assembly for reliable operation. What it does:

• Replaces cracked, dented, or scratched front/control-panel trim to restore appearance
• Protects switches, buttons and the control assembly from spills and debris
• Helps hold control components and display in proper alignment for normal use
• Commonly replaced when the panel is warped, has broken mounting tabs, or shows visible cosmetic damage

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Typical installation uses basic hand tools; support the control assembly while removing fasteners
• Handle painted or coated finishes carefully to avoid scratches during installation
• Reuse any gaskets or clips only if undamaged; replace worn mounting hardware for a secure fit
