Kitchenaid Compactor KUCC151EBS0 Drawer is hard to open and / or close

The Roller Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool and KitchenAid trash compactors. It includes dual plastic roller drums that grasp and compact trash inside the waste cylinder. The assembly comes with 2 rollers. 

Causes of faulty or worn rollers include years of continuous daily use compressing a wide variety of trash materials. 

Symptoms include:

• Inability to fully compact bags into tight, uniform bricks  
• Loose, inefficient compaction allowing excess empty space
• Excessive odors escaping around poorly compressed bags
• Visible cracking or flat spots on roller gripping surfaces

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

This container roller bearing supports the trash compactor drawer as it slides on its tracks. Replacing a worn bearing restores smooth, quiet movement and helps keep the container aligned for easy opening and closing.

• Provides low-friction support so the drawer glides smoothly on the tracks
• Helps maintain proper container alignment and stability
• Reduces squeaks, grinding, and sticking during operation
• Common symptoms: drawer hard to open/close, scraping noises, binding or uneven movement, visible wear/flat spots on the bearing

• Disconnect power to the compactor before servicing
• Remove and empty the drawer to access the bearing location
• Install the new bearing in the same orientation; transfer any hardware as needed
• Inspect rollers, axles, and tracks; replace any additional worn parts for best results
