Installation Instructions
Michael from Lakeville, MN
One of the 2 Nut Power nylon screws failed
The "smasher" got jammed sideways when this part failed on one side. Could not open the front door. Had to pull the whole unit out, take to garage and repair. Start by taking bottom panel off. This gives you access to the chain drive. Put on some leather gloves and turn chain CCW until "smasher unit comes loose. Pull out of top of unit (other panels need to be removed and front control panel must be removed also). Now replace both nylon "NUT POWER ASM" parts. If you are handy, you can do this repair easily and save yourself $$$

RETURN SWITCH
Fix Number FIX16542383
Manufacturer Part Number WC21X20249
This is a top limit directional switch for a trash compactor. The directional switch reverses the motor direction when the trash compactor has reached the top of the drawer. If your trash compactor is not completing the compact cycle properly, you may have to test the switch. If you have a multimeter, you can perform a continuity test before ordering this part to determine if a continuous electrical path is present in the switch. If there is no electrical path in your switch, you will need to replace it. This is an authentic replacement part sourced directly from the original manufacturer.

Installation Instructions
James from Warwick, NY
Ran out of compactor bags
I put in a new bag. Honestly guys, filling out this questionnaire took more time than replacing a bag, something we do every week. I know that you mean well, but perhaps you should try to differentiate between disposable items and true repair parts.
