Trash Compactor Power Snowblower Show Bolt Nut Parts

The Power Nut Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE trash compactors. It plays a vital role in properly securing the ram drive belt in place to transmit rotational power from the motor to the compacting ram.  

Causes of a bad power nut can include cracks, stripped threading, or a loose nut that fails to adequately tighten the belt. Over time, nuts can also wear out from repeated tensioning of belts during use.

Symptoms of a bad power nut include:

• The ram failing to extend fully or retract smoothly  
• Compaction being inefficient with items not compressing fully in the waste bin
• Premature wear of the belt from improper tensioning

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, and some KitchenAid models.

This shoulder screw secures and guides the foot assembly, providing a precise shoulder for alignment and smooth movement. Replacing a worn or missing screw restores a snug, reliable fit and consistent operation of the attached component.

• Positions and secures the foot component at its mounting point
• Provides a smooth shoulder/bearing surface for proper alignment and motion
• Helps resolve looseness, wobble, binding, or misalignment in the foot assembly
• Replace if the original screw is stripped, bent, corroded, or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Support the assembly to remove any load before removing hardware
• Retain any spacers or washers and reinstall in the original order
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening

Size: 10-24 x 3/8 inch.
