The Compartment is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool-mounted trash compactors located within cabinetry. This liner partitions and contains smashed refuse to prevent detritus dispersal. 

Causes of a bad compartment involve splits developed from years of wear reducing integrity, mineral deposits stiffening flexible folds, or detached glides suspending proper deployment.

Symptoms of a bad compartment include:

• Trash escaping from loosened barriers during compaction
• Warped creases hindering full retraction  
• Exposed grinding mechanisms posing pinch risks
• Loose mounts producing rattling vibrations

Replace yours today with this genuine OEM Whirlpool liner. Compatible with KitchenAid, Maytag, and select Kenmore mounted units as well, reengineered material absorbs impacts while streamlining extraction. Hygienic containment sustains routines with low effort.

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

This sheet-metal pan-head screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components to the cabinet or frame. Replacing a missing or damaged screw restores a tight fit and helps stop rattles, misalignment, and loosening.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, covers, ducts, and brackets to the appliance chassis
• Helps keep components aligned and secure during operation
• Replace if the original is missing, rusted, stripped, or damaged
• Common symptoms: loose or vibrating panels, gaps or misaligned parts, hardware that won't tighten

• Disconnect power; shut off gas or water supply before servicing
• Support the panel or part being attached; hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit; tighten snugly but do not overtighten into sheet metal
• If multiple matching screws secure a part, consider replacing them as a set for consistent hold

This rotary start-run switch controls power to the appliance motor. Turning the knob engages the motor circuit to start and keep it running, restoring reliable on/off operation when the original switch wears out.

• Controls motor power using a rotary action
• Replaces a worn or intermittent switch that causes no start, stops, or inconsistent operation
• Helps resolve issues like fan/blower not turning on, cutting out, or only running in certain positions
• Designed for correct fit and dependable switching in compatible units

• Disconnect power before servicing to prevent electrical shock
• Note wire locations or take photos before removing the old switch
• Transfer wires to the same terminals on the new switch; secure connections firmly
• Test operation before reassembling any panels or knobs

This replacement rotary switch knob restores simple, reliable control of your appliance's rotary selector. It gives you a clear grip and indicator for selecting settings so the control is easy to turn and read. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, worn or loose rotary control knob to restore positive grip and selection feel.
• Provides a visible pointer/indicator to help line up and select the correct setting.
• Helps when the original knob slips, turns loosely, or has faded markings.
• Fits onto the appliance's rotary switch to allow manual selection of functions or temperatures.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or switch off the breaker) before servicing.
• Most installs are direct: pull the old knob straight off and push the new knob onto the switch shaft; some models may use a retaining screw—inspect before forcing.
• Do not attempt internal repairs while the appliance is energized.

This switch nut secures a rotary control or switch to the appliance's front panel. Replacing a stripped or missing nut keeps the control stable so the knob turns smoothly and the shaft stays properly aligned.

• Clamps the switch/control to the panel to prevent movement or rotation
• Helps maintain correct knob alignment with dial markings
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly knob, switch rotates in the panel, missing/damaged nut
• Often needed after service if the original nut is stripped or lost

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing
• Remove the knob and any decorative escutcheon; thread the new nut onto the switch bushing from the front of the panel
• Support the switch from behind while tightening; do not overtighten to avoid panel or switch damage
• Restore power and test control operation

This normally closed pushbutton switch controls an on/off circuit in the appliance. Replacing a worn switch restores reliable light shutoff and interlock response so the unit behaves correctly when the button or door/plunger is pressed.

• NC operation: circuit is closed at rest and opens when the button is pressed
• Commonly used for door/light or interlock "off" functions in compatible assemblies
• Symptoms can include: light stays on with door closed, light won't turn on, unit won't start because door isn't detected, or intermittent operation
• Helps ensure consistent, repeatable switch actuation

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note/photograph wire locations; move wires to the same terminals on the new switch
• Mount securely and align the actuator with the button or door plunger
• Restore power and test for proper operation before reassembly
