Compactor draw was not opening fully as the wheel bearings had seized

I followed the you tube video instructions provided by customer care. This involved pulling the unit free from the cabinet, removing several screws that held the housing in place, this gave access to the wheel assembly, then I removed the nuts that held the wheel assembly in place. Fitting the new wheel assemblies was easy as was replacing the housing screws. After reinserting the draw and pushing the unit back into the cabinet it worked like new

Would have been nice to have known that the replacement switch operated in the opposite fashion from the original switch. Also, kit was missing the two screws to attach the new lever operator.

I had expected to just have to install a new spring steel "L" shaped switch operator to replace the one that had broken off. Installation of the new switch and redesigned operator was difficult in tight quarters. Good news, four hours later compactor works as advertised. Hope that the revised design works well and for a long time.

Jammed KitchenAid Trash Compactor.

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.
Taking a wrench to the main drive… I was able to free up the jam… a piece of glass from a broken bottle.

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!

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.

All 4 compactor buttons were missing. The bag kept getting pulled down when we'd run the compactor.

I just used the accompanying screw to attach the buttons to the 4 holes in the drawer. Simple stuff.

I do think I read that the Jenn-Air bags used to come with precut holes, and the bag wold slide over the buttons, holding it in place. I jus get the bag lined up and pulled over the drawer, and cut the holes myself. It works perfectly.

Tried to screw button retainer in as instructed and screws did not fit-even using screwdriver to try and work t

Screwed in as far as I could get it but it never went flush with the wall of the compactor like the factory placed ones.
