Whirlpool Trash Compactor Parts

This is a stainless steel overlay insert that covers the front control panel area of a trash compactor. It provides the finished exterior surface around the control buttons and gives the unit a clean, built-in appearance. Replace this insert if it is scratched, dented, discolored, or if the original panel overlay has become damaged or is peeling.

This precision thrust race serves as the hardened bearing surface for axial loads in a rotating mechanism. Replacing a worn race reduces friction and noise, helping restore smooth, consistent motion and protect companion thrust bearings and washers from accelerated wear.

• Provides the hardened bearing surface for a thrust bearing assembly
• Supports axial load and helps maintain proper end-play in the mechanism
• Reduces friction to allow smoother rotation under load
• Wear may present as grinding/scraping noises, rough or binding motion, excessive axial play, or visible scoring

• Disconnect power and shut off water/gas before servicing
• Access the thrust-bearing area; note the order and orientation of races, bearings, and washers for reassembly
• Clean mating surfaces; replace any worn companion parts and lubricate only if specified by the service documentation
• Seat the new race fully and verify free movement by hand before reassembly and testing
