Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Would have been nice to have known that the replacement switch operated in the opposite fashion from the original switch. Also, kit was missing the two screws to attach the new lever operator.
I had expected to just have to install a new spring steel "L" shaped switch operator to replace the one that had broken off. Installation of the new switch and redesigned operator was difficult in tight quarters. Good news, four hours later compactor works as advertised. Hope that the revised design works well and for a long time.

Once I discovered that the ram was down, I had to determine why. Opened up the bottom and discoverer the drive gear was broken. Ordered the parts kit and made the repair. Did not know what the other parts in the kit were for, but it works.

Jammed KitchenAid Trash Compactor.
With nothing in the KitchenAid Instructions nor anything on the internet… I had to go it alone.
Actually quite simple… I laid the unit over on its front and removed the 5 screws holding on the bottom plate. This exposed the motor and drive train which turns the two compacting screws on each side. The main drive gear was broken.
Taking a wrench to the main drive… I was able to free up the jam… a piece of glass from a broken bottle.

I went to the internet and did a search on KitchenAid Trash Compactor Parts and discovered PartSelect.com… They had me enter the Model Number of my unit and a parts diagram and list came up… I found the gear I needed… ordered it and in two days it was here. Instructions came with the gear on replacement and in no time I was back in business.

I was impressed with the simplicity of KitchenAid’s Compactor, and the ease in which I was able to get my part from PartSelect.com!
