This replacement part is a foot pedal which fits on a trash compactor. It includes two screws for installation. The pedal mounts on the footplate on the bottom front of the container. The pedal controls the container drawer. When stepping on your trash compactor pedal, the latch should release the container from the compactor body. This foot pedal is black, made of plastic, and is sold individually. Be sure to disconnect power to your appliance before beginning this repair. You will only need a screwdriver to complete the repair. This is a genuine part and is sourced from the authentic manufacturer.

Great website!
We ordered all new exterior parts for our Whirlpool trash compactor to change the color from bisque to black so it would match the new kitchen appliances we had purchased. The order desk was very knowledgeable and knew exactly everything we needed to buy to accomplish this. Delivery was reasonably fast and all parts fit perfect. Ours was super easy to change out but installation videos are also available if needed. It looks brand new, matches perfect, and saved us about $600 by not having to buy a whole new compactor. I would definitely recommend PartSelect to everyone I know.

Second attempt to get complete part with advertized screws was successful.

Second attempt to get complete part was successful.
I ordered the foot pedal with screws the first time, but the part arrived without any specialized screws. I called in to report the problem and they had me order another foot pedal and it came with the screws. Even though I had to order the part twice and charged twice I was reimbursed for the part once. I have not received any mail back instructions for the foot pedal. The installation should not be difficult for me to do.

The part is a perfect replacement, however; the screws sent with the part were too large

Compactor was white, changed appliances to black, put front panel and footpedal on to update appearance.
It was quick and easy, even for someone with limited "honey-do" experience.
To replace old pedal where screw hole was stripped
Had to remove entire drawer from unit to more easily access pedal placement. Removed old pedal. Screwed new pedal in place. Replaced drawer unit. Done.

My drawer will not stay shut. All works other than that. The foot pedal does not appear damaged visually. Just wonder if that could still be my issue, and if there is a better picture of the part so can tell if
The one on the machine is really the issue. Thanks
For model number Kucc151b0
Hello Frank, thank you for your question. The issue could be the Wheel Assembly - Kit of 2
Part Number: 882688 or the Foot Pedal Part Number: 882657, or the latch PartSelect Number PS382677. Unfortunately, we don't have any other pictures available. I hope this helps!

Door starts to come open about mid way through compressing cycle. Is it the foot peddle?
For model number GX900qpls0
Hello Judy, thank you for your question. It could be the foot peddle or the directional switch, PartSelect Number: PS11744742. We would recommend replacing both. I hope this helps.

Compactor door bounces open when trying to close
For model number KUCC151DWH1
Hello Wayne, Thank you for the question. We suggest checking the Foot Pedal, Latch Plate and Hook for wear or damaged preventing the door from latching and staying closed. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
Does this kit include the foot pedal switch that starts the compacting when you push up on the foot pedal. The parts fell out and i don’t see how they go together on your diagrams?

Difficult to open, I have to step to hard and lift to get it open. I took the foot pedal off and I seems to be in good shape. I can't see anything broken or worn. Any suggestions?
