The Kenmore trash compactor ram device was stuck in the down position due to the plastic drive gear breaking into pieces

First I went on YouTube and looked at about 4 different repair videos, but they were for Whirlpool units, not Kenmore.
Unplugged unit and removed it from counter space.
Removed bottom panel to access the drive gear.
Rotated chain counterclockwise to raise the RAM. Then I could remove the trash drawer.
Removed the top panel and then removed the RAM from the compactor.
Inspected the 2 side power nuts and they were OK. (This was the other replaceable part to order)
Replaced the large drive gear. Lubricated it with grease.
Didn't replace the small drive gear because I couldn't remove the drift pin going through the gear and the motor shaft.
Re-assembled the panels and plugged it back in and tested it before replacing it in the counter.

Compacter not working, door jammed.

The specifics of the repair (replacement of broken main gear) are well covered above. There were only two points of difficulty. The first was fixing things enough to be able to open the door to get the model number to order the parts! A useful reminder to me to make _sure_ that all model numbers of all appliances are recorded and accessible! The second difficulty - and not so much of one once I figured it out - was trying to get the thing plugged back in! It's a built in, and our contractor must have used a micrometer to measure for the opening. No chance of plugging it in as it came out of the cabinetry. It took me a while to realize that the strain relief fitting holding the cord at the top rear of the unit was an opening clip

Very old compactor stripped plastic gears.

First was going to replace but found new one is about $700! Gear set came with everything, right down to roll pin and hints on final adjustment. Getting the compactor out of the cabinet and turned over was about the hardest part. Installation went easy with everything fitting perfectly and I saved $700!
