These issues can impede the proper operation of the trash compactor, leading to inefficient trash compression.

Symptoms of a bad directional switch include:

• The compactor ram not moving up or down
• The compactor not starting or stopping correctly
• Unusual noises coming from the compactor
• The compactor getting stuck in one position

• 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

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

This push-button door switch senses when your refrigerator door opens and closes to control the interior light. Replace a worn or stuck switch to restore reliable lighting and proper on/off operation when the door moves. What it does:

• Turns the interior light on when the door opens and off when it closes
• Common fix for a light that won't turn on with the door open
• Resolves lights that stay on continuously with the door closed
• Addresses intermittent lighting from a sticking or damaged plunger

• One door switch

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Carefully pry the old switch from the liner; protect the surface to avoid damage
• Transfer wires to the new switch one at a time to maintain correct connections
• Press the new switch fully into place and restore power to test operation

This power nut threads onto the trash compactor's drive screw to raise and lower the ram. Replacing a worn nut restores smooth ram travel and helps prevent binding, stalling, or a ram that doesn't move.

• Threads onto the drive screw to convert motor rotation into up/down ram movement
• Worn or stripped threads can stop ram movement or cause binding under load
• Common symptoms: motor runs but ram doesn't move; grinding/stripping noises; ram stuck partway up or down

• Disconnect power at the breaker; pull the compactor from the cabinet as needed for access
• Support and secure the ram before removing the nut to prevent sudden movement
• Inspect the drive screw and ram guides for wear; replace any damaged parts
• After reassembly, run a full cycle to ensure smooth, complete ram travel

This switch nut secures a rotary control or switch to the appliance's front panel. Replacing a stripped or missing nut keeps the control stable so the knob turns smoothly and the shaft stays properly aligned.

• Clamps the switch/control to the panel to prevent movement or rotation
• Helps maintain correct knob alignment with dial markings
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly knob, switch rotates in the panel, missing/damaged nut
• Often needed after service if the original nut is stripped or lost

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing
• Remove the knob and any decorative escutcheon; thread the new nut onto the switch bushing from the front of the panel
• Support the switch from behind while tightening; do not overtighten to avoid panel or switch damage
• Restore power and test control operation
