General Electric Trash Compactor Power Screw, Shaft, Pin

This slotted spring pin is a small retaining fastener that secures shafts, levers, and small assemblies so moving parts stay aligned and engaged. It restores proper mechanical retention in controls and linkages. What it does:

• Holds shafts, levers, and linkage components in place to prevent unintended movement or disengagement
• Keeps control knobs, actuator arms, and small rotating parts secured under normal operation
• Commonly replaced when the original pin is worn, bent, broken, or missing
• Helps eliminate symptoms like loose or disconnected knobs, slipping linkages, or intermittent mechanical engagement

• One spring slotted pin (single)

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) to the appliance before servicing
• Remove the damaged pin and install the replacement using appropriate pliers or a pin punch; do not force metal parts
• Verify correct orientation and full engagement of the pin in the retaining hole before reassembling
• If the pin is difficult to seat, inspect mating parts for wear or distortion and replace any damaged components

These straight replacement pins restore secure pivot and retention points in appliance assemblies. Sold as a set of twelve, they're useful for repairing loose or missing pins that cause shifting parts or noisy operation. What it does
