Rotary switch had finally worn out and was brittle and broken on our 30 plus year old trash compactor.

Removed the switch knob, the outer nut, and the front plate.
Unplugged the old switch from the 3 wires and plugged them into the new switch and put it back together with the new knob. Probably less than 5 minutes.
