Replacement foot pedal for trash compactors. Operates the compacting mechanism when pressed. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing for proper operation.

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

• Helps keep the power cord routed and secured to reduce strain on the cord and terminals
• Can prevent air/dust intrusion behind the control cavity that could affect components
• Common replacement when the original plate is cracked, broken, or missing
