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

Compactor piston stuck in down position and couldn't open!!!
First thing I did was put the unit on its side and removed the bottom to access the broken plastic gear that moves the chain that drives the compactor up and down...There I was able to manually move the chain by turning the nut with pliers and moving the piston up (painfully slow) until I could at least use the bin for trash while I waited for the replacement part to arrive. Once I had the part I loosened the four bolts that allowed the drive gear to move a little and slacken the chain - I then put in the new gear - make sure you have the proper spacing and washers - my replacement kit didn't have any washers so I resused the old washers and all seems to be working well!

My very old trash compactor's carrier bag wore out
This new one from part select I think fit better than the original so all I had to do was install the handles as the depiction on the packaging showed and install it. Less than 1 minute.

dented front panel
The first panel I received was scratched and had to be replaced. I called PartsSelect and they sent a replacement.
An easy replacement that made the compactor look like new, that is important since we will be selling the house.

Compactor was hard to open had to press hard with foot and lift to open. got harder as it got fuller.
remove the container from base lay on floor unscrew 2 screws one on each side and remove foot pedal. I could see that the foot pedal had small bow in the pedal. You can only see this if you removed. I ordered the rollers in the front but did not install as it is not the rollers. Will keep for future if needed. Replace your foot first if hard to open.
