4KUCS181T0 KitchenAid Trash Compactor - Overview

This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

Since the belt broke, I had to put the cogged belt on the large driven pulley first, after loosening the four motor mount screws, and sliding the motor as close to the driven belt as I could. After several tries, I positioned the belt successfully on the driven pulley, then slipped it over the pulley on the motor. I pulled the motor as far away from the driven pulley to put proper tension on the belt without being excessive. I snugged the four motor mount bolts, tested the compactor and after a successful run, tightened the bolts on the motor mount. I then replaced the latch assembly, two screws and it was done.

I Removed The Back Panel To Get At The Top Panel Which In Turn I Got To Top Plate To Access The Gear Drive, The Ram Was In The Down Position So I Used a Socket And Rachet To Crank The Ram Up By Hand, I Then Loosened The Plastic Gear Mount To Move The Gear Forward To Attach The New Belt, Then Reversed The Procedure putting The Campactor In operating Condition And It Work's Great
