Our Garbage compactor doesn't spring out as far as it use to, only about 4 inches. I thought maybe putting on a new spring would help. Do you think this would work and do you carry this part?

Hello Charlotte, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the chain drive, part number PS257884. According to our research, it is the most probable culprit. When the chain is damaged, it can get stuck and will not allow the compactor to move or reach its upper limit. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
1) pulled the compactor from under the counter and unplugged it. 2) tipped it on its side 3) removed 5 screws (3 on the motor side and two on the bottom) an took off the bottom cover plate. 3) using the pliers i pulled of the retainer clip from the large drive gear(it had broken on only the hub remain attached) 4) i then just slid in the new gear, snapped in the retainer clip and buttoned up the cover plate. Note I did not replace the other parts that came in the package because the existing ones seemed ok.
