Whirlpool WP9871267 Container Handle OEM Part

We called the phone number on the unit, gave them the model number and the price of the replacement handle including tax and shipping was $112.00. We then looked on line at Appliance Parts Pro and got the identical part including tax and shipping for $70.00. When the part arrived it took about ten minutes to remove the old handle and install the new one.

This took 2 orders from Appliance parts. First had to replace reversing switch. I had a loose door handle, which I attempted to repair. This was a temporary fix. A couple of weeks later compactor would not stop again. This time ,I could not turn it off with buttons. I assumed I had switch problems. I order new part, and got a new handle to be sure. As usual parts were here in 48 hrs. or less. Popped in ,and all is well. I love these guys. They have or will find most things you need. They have saved me a lot of money. I usually buy the upper end of appliances without many electronic gadgets. It is a little more expensive in the beginning. ,but usually is repairable and cheaper than replacing. Fixed Whirlpool Gold trash compactor for less than $200. Replacement was $875.
