Trash Compactor Support Parts

This mount plate is a stamped metal bracket that secures a component inside the appliance, helping keep parts aligned and reducing movement. Replace a damaged or bent plate to restore a stable, secure installation. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting point for internal components to prevent shifting or sagging
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling caused by loose or worn mounting surfaces
• Keeps electrical and mechanical parts properly aligned for reliable operation
• Common symptom: visible looseness, noise, or component movement during use

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Verify the plate orientation and mounting hole alignment with your appliance's service diagram
• Use the original screws or OEM-specified fasteners and tighten securely but do not overtighten

This latch plate secures the appliance door to the cabinet, providing the positive engagement needed for proper door closure and operation. It helps restore a door that won't stay closed or won't trigger door switches. What it does:

• Acts as the door strike that the latch engages to hold the door shut
• Ensures the door closes firmly so door switches can register a closed state
• Can stop issues like a loose or misaligned door, or a door that won't remain closed
• Restores proper alignment and engagement without replacing the full latch assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing
• Remove the door or access panel to reach the latch area
• Inspect related latch components and alignment; replace only the damaged part
• Use basic hand tools; tighten fasteners securely but avoid overtightening

This bearing plate supports the dryer drum shaft and secures the bearing assembly so the drum spins smoothly and stays aligned. Replacing a worn plate restores stable drum rotation and helps reduce noise and rubbing. What it does:

• Provides a mounting surface and alignment for the drum bearing and shaft
• Keeps the drum centered to prevent wobbling, scraping, and uneven wear
• Reduces loud bearing or metal-on-metal noises caused by a damaged plate
• Helps maintain smooth drum rotation and proper belt alignment

• Turn power and gas off to the appliance before starting work
• Inspect surrounding components (bearing, shaft, seals, mounting screws) and replace if damaged
• Use correct fasteners and torque to secure the plate; improper mounting can cause noise or premature wear

This latch plate assembly secures the dryer door and engages the door switch so the machine can run. It restores proper door closure and helps ensure the dryer starts and runs safely. What it does:

• Provides the metal strike for the door latch to catch and hold the door closed
• Engages the dryer door switch so the appliance recognizes a closed door
• Commonly used when the door won't stay closed, the dryer won't start, or the door strike is bent or worn
• Fits into the door frame and works with the latch mechanism to restore secure closure

• Disconnect power before installing to avoid shock or injury
• Removal typically requires opening the dryer door and replacing screws that hold the plate to the door frame
• Check the mating latch for wear and alignment; adjust as needed for smooth operation

This power cord plate covers and secures the oven/range power cord where it enters the appliance, keeping the connection protected and helping prevent strain on the cord. It restores a finished look and helps keep wiring safely routed. What it does:

• Covers the terminal block area to protect power connections from dirt and accidental contact
• Helps keep the power cord routed and secured to reduce strain on the cord and terminals
• Can prevent air/dust intrusion behind the control cavity that could affect components
• Common replacement when the original plate is cracked, broken, or missing

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Typically attaches with two screws; keep screws and any gaskets from the old piece for reuse if undamaged
• Check the cord strain relief/terminal connections while replacing the plate; do not touch live terminals
• If wiring or the cord itself is damaged, replace or repair those parts per manufacturer instructions
