With nothing in the KitchenAid Instructions nor anything on the internet… I had to go it alone.
Actually quite simple… I laid the unit over on its front and removed the 5 screws holding on the bottom plate. This exposed the motor and drive train which turns the two compacting screws on each side. The main drive gear was broken.

I went to the internet and did a search on KitchenAid Trash Compactor Parts and discovered PartSelect.com… They had me enter the Model Number of my unit and a parts diagram and list came up… I found the gear I needed… ordered it and in two days it was here. Instructions came with the gear on replacement and in no time I was back in business.

I was impressed with the simplicity of KitchenAid’s Compactor, and the ease in which I was able to get my part from PartSelect.com!

Replaced both sets of drawer rollers.
Final cost in parts - $450 - new compactor $1100. Works like new.
Had to be creative in the 2 drawer switch as they are now longer offered for sale. Found suitable replacements.

This may be my last chance at repairing this.

Problem is, the filter holder is jammed on its holder and will not come off.Short of using a blowtorch, this is a permanent FAIL!
