Installation Instructions

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. Read more...

Manufacturer Part Number
WP777811
This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. This is a top limit and directional switch that is designed for use with trash compactors. This switch will interrupt the current that flows to the motor when the ram reaches the top of the compactor. When the ram reaches the top of the compactor this switch reverses the motor direction. You may have a problem with your switch if you compactor wont stop running at the end of the cycle. Before you replace this part make sure you have unplugged your trash compactor.

Installation Instructions

Chad from Moreno Valley, CA
Trash Compactor would not stop after cycle and would make a ton of noise
I had a couple of problems with my trash compactor, it was present in the home when we bought it. First it wouldn't turn on, the on/off switch was broken so I replaced the switch and knob assembly. Then the unit would run through a cycle and wouldn't stop at the end and would make a loud banging noise. My directional switch was the suspect at first because it was in bad shape to begin with, looked like it had gotten stuck at some point and bent the arm. I replaced the directional switch and it didn't help. Then I realized that the on/off/start panel showed that the start button was stuck in the on position. This was delivering constant current and wouldn't allow the unit to stop. DON'T spend $150 for a new start/on/off panel. I took the panel off and separated the front from the back to expose the buttons from the inside. The start button was stuck so I took the parts out and reassembled them, they're all little plastic and metal pieces that interlink. After I reassembled the buttons' insides I reassembled the panel and reinstalled it. The unit works fine now. Read more...

This is a genuine OEM drive gear kit for your trash compactor. It includes the drive gear, pin spring, a retaining clip which is also known as a c-ring, ram stop, and the ram cam. The ram is used to compact the trash and if it is getting stuck, making excess noise, or is not stopping at the end of the cycle, then the drive gear may need to be replaced. Before beginning this repair, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to the trash compactor.

Ronald from MOVILLE, IA
Switch knob broke off with part of the switch tube still in place.
Used a Philips screw driver, inserted it into the broken portion of the switch tube, turned it left to clear the ear slots which hold it in place. It then popped out and aligned the new switch and inserted, then turned to on to hold the switch in place. Simple. Read more...

This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. This switch is used to control whether the compactor is on or off, it determines if there is power flowing through the machine or not. You may have a problem with your switch if your compactor will not stop at the end of the compacting cycle, or if your compactor will not stay long enough to go through a compacting cycle. Before attempting this repair you will need to unplug your appliance.
