Replace your trash compactor's broken or stripped drive gear assembly. Includes gears, shafts, and components that transfer motor power to the ram mechanism.
The compactor failed with the ram down, so the drawer wouldn't open which in turn made the mounting brackets inaccessible. This necessitated sliding a thin oscillating saw blade between the cabinet face frame and the counter top to cut through the brackets. It was then possible to roll the unit out and place it on its side. I removed the five screws holding the bottom pan in place, dropped the pan exposing the gear/chain train. The large gear was cracked from shaft out to the edge. One of... Read more

This is the front-facing outer door panel for a trash compactor, featuring a stainless steel finish. It serves as the visible exterior surface of the compactor drawer, providing a clean and finished appearance. Replace this panel if it is dented, scratched, rusted, or otherwise cosmetically damaged.
You need to remove the entire compactor basket, so that can be a little unwieldy. There are 8 total Phillips head screws. Two on each side of the wrap-around portion of the panel, two on the bottom of the panel, and two larger screws that are used to hold the foot pedal in place. The two lower screws on the bottom of the panel also screw through the rubber stop strip on the bottom of the basket. Recommend removing the basket and then putting it somewhere where it can't do any harm with... Read more

This latch assembly secures the trash compactor drawer in the closed position and engages the safety interlock that allows the compactor to operate. It mounts to the front of the compactor frame and connects to the door switch mechanism. Replace this part if the drawer will not latch shut, the compactor fails to start because it does not detect a closed door, or the latch mechanism is visibly broken or worn.
This precision thrust race serves as the hardened bearing surface for axial loads in a rotating mechanism. Replacing a worn race reduces friction and noise, helping restore smooth, consistent motion and protect companion thrust bearings and washers from accelerated wear.
I bought new thrust races, a drive gear kit, bearings and a sprocket. When the bearing went out, the thrust races, washers, one bottom plate, and a sprocket was eaten up by the the chain due to the slack being created. I followed the video for the Drive Gear Kit repair and everything went together well. I did have to remove the tracks from inside the compactor in order to remove the cardboard liner that "hides" the drive rods. Additionally, be careful to not over-tension the chain when... Read more
