The compactor was loaded with too many wine bottles
At best it is advisable to load just one at a time and covered with newspaper etc., In this case someone put in three bottles with out covering with heavy newspaper etc.and for some reason one rode out and to the side. Crushing the side of the metal trash container. This pinned the container against the side of the compactor body and behind the front rails. Using a lot of pulling and some nifty pry bars and two hours of prying and squeezing we got the container out( see attached photo )The replacement container was ordered on a Sunday night and arrived Tuesday morning. Removal of the existing front panel ,foot pedal and door switch was easy and installation on to the replacement container was a breeze with a little orientation required to line up the switch and pedal in the right configuration. 20 min tops and that was with five kids helping ;)

Front Load washer, Door did not latch
Ordered new door hinge and used available You Tube Video. to assist in installation. Not a very difficult job, however that did not solve the problem. Then in an attempt to complicate the solution, I again removed the door and took the entire inside cover off. The entire latch mechanism fell on the floor. It took a very long time to determine how the latch mechanism was placed. Finally with the help of a neighbor the latch was placed back into position, the glass and screen replaced and finally all the plastic molding seated and screwed tight. Guess what the latch now seated correctly and appears to work correctly.

my compactor container was badly worn out
All I really needed to do was to take the front facing off and put on the new container, but I took the opportunity to do a complete overhaul and cleaning. It now work like a new compactor.

Drive gear worn out, because I put glass bottles in it. Should'nt do that.
Followed PartsSelect instructions, the Compactor was appoximately $1000. when I purchased it. The kit was $26.14. I will forever be a customer of this company. Thank you, Brian
