Parts for Kitchenaid KUCS03CTBL0: 03 - Powerscrew And Ram Parts

A replacement screw used to secure the appliance power connection for reliable electrical contact and safe operation. Restores a solid connection if the original screw is missing, loose, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures the power terminal/cord or related power assembly to maintain consistent electrical contact.
• Helps prevent intermittent power, arcing, or overheating caused by loose or damaged fasteners.
• Replaces a missing, stripped, or corroded screw so the appliance can operate safely and reliably.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Use the correct screwdriver and thread engagement; avoid overtightening to prevent stripped threads or damaged terminals.
• Inspect adjacent wiring, terminals, and the cord strain relief; replace any damaged components.

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

Supports the rotating shaft in your trash compactor, reducing friction for smooth operation. Replace if you hear grinding noise or the ram sticks.

Replacement drive hub that secures the compactor's power screw to the transmission. Needed when the original hub is worn, cracked, or broken.

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.

• Provides the hardened bearing surface for a thrust bearing assembly
• Supports axial load and helps maintain proper end-play in the mechanism
• Reduces friction to allow smoother rotation under load
• Wear may present as grinding/scraping noises, rough or binding motion, excessive axial play, or visible scoring

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas before servicing
• Access the thrust-bearing area; note the order and orientation of races, bearings, and washers for reassembly
• Clean mating surfaces; replace any worn companion parts and lubricate only if specified by the service documentation
• Seat the new race fully and verify free movement by hand before reassembly and testing

Drive sprocket for trash compactor power screw assembly. Replaces worn, broken, or stripped gear that transfers motor power to the drive system.

Replacement power screw nut for trash compactors. Mounts on the drive screw mechanism. Order a new nut if yours is stripped, cracked, or worn out.

Conical washer for trash compactor assemblies. Maintains tension under screws or bolts to keep components aligned. Replace if worn, cracked, or missing.

Replacement stringer bolt that secures the appliance's stringer or support rail to the cabinet frame, restoring panel alignment and preventing movement. Use when the original bolt is missing, loose, or damaged. What it does:

• Secures the stringer/support rail to the appliance frame so panels and assemblies stay aligned.
• Helps prevent cabinet or panel movement that can cause rattling or vibration during operation.
• Restores proper alignment when a loose or missing bolt causes misaligned panels or binding doors.
• Simple, direct replacement for a corroded, stripped, or lost fastener.

• Disconnect power before working on the appliance and remove any panels.
• Use the correct-size socket or wrench; hand-tighten, then snug—do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.
• Inspect mating threads and replace the bolt if heads or threads are damaged; for the correct fastener location.

Replace your trash compactor's ram if it's bent, cracked, or damaged. This compression component installs at the top of the unit and directly compacts waste.

If your trash compactor won't compact or the ram is stuck, worn power nuts are likely the cause. This kit threads onto the power screw. DIY-friendly repair.

Mounting stud secures components in your trash compactor. Replace if worn, stripped, or missing to restore solid fit and reduce looseness or vibration.

Fix a compactor that won't stop at the end of its cycle or makes banging noises. This ram stop limits ram travel for proper positioning. Easy DIY fix.

Size: 8-32 x .312 inch.

Replacement drawer slide rail for trash compactors. Restores smooth gliding and proper tracking when original is cracked, bent, or worn out.
