Parts for Jenn-Air TC406: 05 - Ram Assembly (Tc406) Parts

Size: 10-24 x 3/8 inch.

Size: 10-24 x 3/8 inch.

Fix a trash compactor ram that won't move, binds, or stalls. This power nut threads onto the drive screw to restore smooth up-and-down ram travel.

Includes a set of 8 pads.

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

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

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

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

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

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