Richard C Hampton Bays , NY April 28, 2020 Appliance: Whirlpool Trash Compactor TU950QPXS2 Whirlpool Compactor Tu950qpxs2 / : Motor burned out. How to replace Drive Gear Kit. Disassembled the bottom of the compactor and observed darkened coils and smell on motor windings. I ordered a new motor from appliance parts pros and had it on my porch the next day, unbelievable service. The repair video on the appliance parts pros web site showed how to change over the wire ends which looked simple enough but I was lucky enough that my harness pugged right in.. I also ordered the gear set and replaced them just as a maintenance precaution which went just as easy. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
