The Return Switch is an OEM part for GE trash compactors. This part ensures that the compacting ram returns to its starting position after each compaction cycle.  

Causes of a malfunctioning return switch can vary from electrical issues, such as short circuits or worn-out connections, to mechanical problems, including physical damage from wear and tear or blockages preventing the switch's activation.  

Symptoms of a faulty  Return Switch include:

• The compactor ram fails to return to its original position after a compaction cycle.
• The unit does not start or operate correctly, indicating issues with the cycle initiation.
• Unusual noises or behavior from the trash compactor, suggesting that the ram is not aligning or moving as expected.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

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.

The Trash Compactor Bags are OEM parts for GE trash compactors, designed to withstand the considerable force applied during the compaction process. These specially designed bags are made from durable materials capable of containing compacted waste without tearing or leaking. 15 bags are included per package. The bags measure about 27 inches X 32 inches x 3.0 millimeters thick.

Causes for replacing the compactor bags include normal use leading to them filling up, tears or punctures from sharp objects, or general wear and tear.

Symptoms of using a bad or incompatible trash compactor bag include:

• Bags tearing during compaction, leading to messes and odors within the compactor.
• Difficulty fitting the bag into the compactor unit, which can reduce efficiency and effectiveness.
• Leaks or spills from bags not specifically designed to handle the compaction process.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This frame roller assembly mounts to the appliance frame and supports a sliding drawer or rack. Replacing a worn roller restores smooth, aligned movement and helps reduce sticking or grinding noises during operation.

• Provides rolling support for the sliding drawer/rack along the frame
• Helps keep sliding components aligned to prevent binding and uneven travel
• Reduces friction for smoother, quieter operation
• Typical symptoms: hard-to-slide drawer/rack, wobbling or scraping, visible roller damage

• Disconnect power; turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the drawer or rack to access the frame-mounted roller assembly
• Note orientation; transfer any reusable hardware and secure the new assembly in the same position
• Verify smooth, level travel before reassembly and returning to service

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

This slotted spring pin is a small retaining fastener that secures shafts, levers, and small assemblies so moving parts stay aligned and engaged. It restores proper mechanical retention in controls and linkages. What it does:

• Holds shafts, levers, and linkage components in place to prevent unintended movement or disengagement
• Keeps control knobs, actuator arms, and small rotating parts secured under normal operation
• Commonly replaced when the original pin is worn, bent, broken, or missing
• Helps eliminate symptoms like loose or disconnected knobs, slipping linkages, or intermittent mechanical engagement

• One spring slotted pin (single)

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) to the appliance before servicing
• Remove the damaged pin and install the replacement using appropriate pliers or a pin punch; do not force metal parts
• Verify correct orientation and full engagement of the pin in the retaining hole before reassembling
• If the pin is difficult to seat, inspect mating parts for wear or distortion and replace any damaged components

This door toe kick assembly replaces the lower front grille on compatible refrigerators, restoring appearance and protecting internal components at the cabinet base. It helps keep the area finished and prevents debris from entering the lower compartment. What it does:

• Covers and protects the refrigerator's lower front opening and components
• Restores finished appearance when original toe kick is cracked, broken, or missing
• Helps prevent drafts and keeps debris out of the vent/compartment area
• Reduces rattles or movement from a loose or damaged lower grille

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work to avoid electrical hazards
• Remove the old toe kick by loosening retaining screws or clips; save fasteners if reusable
• Align the replacement assembly with mounting tabs or screw holes and secure firmly
• Use caution to avoid scratching finished surfaces; do not force parts into place

This mounting bracket holds a control switch securely in place so the switch operates reliably. Replaces a damaged or broken switch bracket to restore proper switch alignment and tactile operation. What it does:

• Secures the control or door switch to the appliance chassis so the switch can actuate consistently
• Prevents switch movement that can cause intermittent operation or failure to start
• Helps maintain correct switch alignment, reducing false triggers or stuck switches
• Useful when the original bracket is cracked, bent, or has broken mounting tabs

• One bracket switch (mounting bracket) as shown

• High-level replacement: remove power and access the switch area before replacing the bracket
• Check switch alignment and actuator engagement before reassembling the appliance

This side mount clip kit secures a fridge component to the cabinet frame so panels, trim or assemblies stay firmly in place. It replaces worn or broken mounting hardware to restore proper fit and reduce rattling or sagging. What it does:

• Secures side-mounted panels, trim or brackets to the appliance frame
• Prevents parts from shifting, rattling or coming loose during use
• Restores proper alignment and fit where clips or fasteners have failed
• Simple mechanical part—no electrical connections

• One side mount clip and the matching mounting screws

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Use correct-size screwdriver; avoid over-tightening screws which can strip threads or crack plastic
• Inspect surrounding clips and mounting points and replace additional damaged hardware as needed
