The foot plate will no work up or down. It just falls down.

All of a sudden, the drawer won’t freely slide out when I push on the step. It only comes out 1 inch and I have to grab it to slide it out to put trash in the basket.
For model number UCG1680L0SS
Hello Philip, thank you for reaching out. The drawer rides on plastic rollers. If a roller is cracked or has a "flat spot," the initial momentum from the pedal won't be enough to overcome the friction. You may need to replace the roller. The drawer roller assembly for your model is part number PS16591421. We hope this helps!

Removed compactor from opening. Using screw driver unthreaded 4 screws from top and then removed the on/off dial. Face plate came off easy and provided access to relay switch bank. Unscrewed two screws which allowed both relay switches to be removed and replaced. Recommend replacing both relay switches. Reassembled and compactor worked fine. Very easy job. If your compactor is making a machine gun noise during the return cycle then this will solve your problem.
Note that the above problem was not due to a bad direction switch. The centrifugal switch (not a replaceable part) inside the motor had failed. Replacing the entire motor is the solution. I downloaded a service manual for this model which decribes how to replace the motor.
