David - For model number UCG1680LSS

March 6, 2020

The drawer roller wheel on the bottom right side rail has come apart and fallen off. I believe i have found the correct part on your website. It looks like the bolt on the back side must be taken off to replace the part. The access to the bolt is too small for access with a wrench. How does one get the damaged part off?Thank you, dave

Hello and thank you for writing. To replace a container drawer roller PS12722845 in your trash compactor first depress the foot pedal pull the container juror assembly forward lift it off of the track and set the assembly on a sturdy surface use a 9/16 inch socket to unthread the roller mounting nut and pull the old roller off of the rail install the new container to our roller by inserting it into the rail then thread and tighten the mounting nut to secure reposition the container to our assembly on the track and confirmed that it moves freely. We hope this information helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Is there a handle for this model. There appears to be a recess for the fasteners on the inside of the door. It would be nice to be able to open and close it by the handle.

Hello Todd, Thank you for the question. Checking the model number provided, this appliance does not come equipped with a handle. We hope this helps!

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.
