The Power Nut Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool trash compactors. It is designed to attach to the side of the ram and is threaded to interact with the power screw. As the power screw rotates, it feeds through the power nut, pulling the ram down to compact the trash.

Symptoms of a bad Power Nut Kit include:

• The ram not moving downward or failing to compact trash effectively
• Unusual noises during the compaction cycle
• Inefficient compaction due to the ram not being pulled down sufficiently

Causes for a malfunctioning Power Nut Kit can include wear and tear of the threads from regular use, mechanical issues affecting the rotation of the power screw, or damage to the power nut affecting its alignment and operation.

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