Symptoms of a faulty drive gear kit in a trash compactor:

• Difficulty in starting or completing the compaction cycle
• Loud grinding or squeaking noises during operation
• Failure of the compaction ram to move or compress waste properly
• Leaks or vibrations due to improper alignment or gear damage
