Kenmore Compactor 665.1398580 (6651398580, 665 1398580) Parts

The Drive Gear Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool trash compactors. It is an essential component that powers the compaction mechanism. The drive gear kit consists of a series of gears, shafts, and other components that work together to transfer the motor's rotational force to the compaction ram.

Causes of a bad drive gear kit in a trash compactor can include mechanical wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive loads or foreign objects, or damage from improper usage or maintenance.

Symptoms of a faulty drive gear kit in a trash compactor:

• Difficulty in starting or completing the compaction cycle
• Loud grinding or squeaking noises during operation
• Failure of the compaction ram to move or compress waste properly
• Leaks or vibrations due to improper alignment or gear damage

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore trash compactor models.
