Jenn-Air Trash Compactor Support Parts

This mount plate is a stamped metal bracket that secures a component inside the appliance, helping keep parts aligned and reducing movement. Replace a damaged or bent plate to restore a stable, secure installation. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for internal components to prevent shifting or sagging
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose or worn mounting surfaces
• Keeps electrical and mechanical parts properly aligned for reliable operation
• Common symptom: visible looseness, noise, or component movement during use

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Verify the plate orientation and mounting hole alignment with your appliance's service diagram
• Use the original screws or OEM-specified fasteners and tighten securely but do not overtighten

This latch plate secures the appliance door to the cabinet, providing the positive engagement needed for proper door closure and operation. It helps restore a door that won't stay closed or won't trigger door switches. What it does:

• Acts as the door strike that the latch engages to hold the door shut
• Ensures the door closes firmly so door switches can register a closed state
• Can stop issues like a loose or misaligned door, or a door that won't remain closed
• Restores proper alignment and engagement without replacing the full latch assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing
• Remove the door or access panel to reach the latch area
• Inspect related latch components and alignment; replace only the damaged part
• Use basic hand tools; tighten fasteners securely but avoid overtightening

This bearing plate supports the dryer drum shaft and secures the bearing assembly so the drum spins smoothly and stays aligned. Replacing a worn plate restores stable drum rotation and helps reduce noise and rubbing. What it does:

• Provides a mounting surface and alignment for the drum bearing and shaft
• Keeps the drum centered to prevent wobbling, scraping, and uneven wear
• Reduces loud bearing or metal-on-metal noises caused by a damaged plate
• Helps maintain smooth drum rotation and proper belt alignment

• Turn power and gas off to the appliance before starting work
• Inspect surrounding components (bearing, shaft, seals, mounting screws) and replace if damaged
• Use correct fasteners and torque to secure the plate; improper mounting can cause noise or premature wear
