Brian from HOUSTON, TX
Trash compactor would not shut off at end of cycle. Would have to manually turn it off.
Removed compactor from opening. Using screw driver unthreaded 4 screws from top and then removed the on/off dial. Face plate came off easy and provided access to relay switch bank. Unscrewed two screws which allowed both relay switches to be removed and replaced. Recommend replacing both relay switches. Reassembled and compactor worked fine. Very easy job. If your compactor is making a machine gun noise during the return cycle then this will solve your problem.

Drive Gear Kit
PartSelect Number PS257882
Manufacturer Part Number WC36X5071
The drive gear is located at the bottom of your compactor and helps the drive motor power the ram by operating the chain that powers the compacting ram. If you notice that your drive gear is broken or damaged, look to replace it straight away to avoid causing any more damage to the trash compactor. If your trash compactor is jammed or stuck with the ram in the down position, it could be due to the drive gear being damaged or faulty. The most common issue with drive gears is that the teeth break. This occurs through regular use. Once teeth are broken from the gear, you should replace the part. This kit comes with everything you will need to properly install your new drive gear.

The drive gear broke on our trash compactor.
The Ram was stuck down in our compactor so I pulled the entire unit from under the counter, flipped it on it's side, opened the bottle panel, saw the drive gear was snapped, and manually cranked the ram up. This brought the ram to the up position and allowed me to open the door and pull out the trash canister/bin. Once I had the replacement part (drive gear) I simply removed the washer and lock, slid the gear on the bolt, aligned it with the smaller engine gear and finally placed the washer and lock back in place. Reinstalled the bottom panel, placed it back under counter, leveled it and it was good to go. If you know where the drive gear is and can use a screwdriver (only to take bottom panel screws off) then you can fix this issue. Very eary.
