Changed out the bearings and washers on one powerscrew, put chain back on. Then was then a simple matter to put the new gear back on the chain then slide the whole thing back on the drive shaft. Replace the washer then slip the split ring back in place and seat it home with the pliers. Greased chain, gear drive and powerscrew. Put all covers back on with the screws. Pushed button it worked.
Trash compactor started making "bumping" sounds when the RAM went through a cycle and tried to come back up. Finally, one day heard a "pop" went the RAM traveled to the bottom.

The other problem was that I didn't put trash in the compactor. Suggest HIGHLY to never operate the unit's RAM mechanism without the compactor being at least 1/2 full per the instruction manual. Running it empty can cause a major problem, such as the gear breaking/stripping.

The plastic drive gear broke and the unit was locked in the down position. The repair kit contained all of the parts required to fix the problem plus other replacement parts for the gear drive unit. It was very easy (about 20 min.) to replace the gear and other parts. The unit works fine now.

Like others who experienced this problem, I removed compactor from under the counter and laid it on its side. I removed the screws holding the cover plates to the motor and gear/chain box. The larger (4" +/-) plastic drive gear which moves the chain that lowers or raises the compactor ram was broke. Using a socket and ratchet, I turned
... Read more the shaft the gear was attached to in a counterclockwise direction and moved the compacting ram from the bottom position to the top so I could finally open the door, It takes a lot of turns to move the compacting ram to the top so be patient. I then loosened the bolts, in the base, that holds the motor secure and slid the base toward the broken gear putting slack in the chain. I removed the split ring from the shaft and removed the sprocket which originally is part of the gear but was left on the shaft when the gear broke in three places. I elected to not remove the original washer and spacer and put the new gear with sprocket on the shaft, put the chain on the socket and installed the split ring. Slid the motor base back to original position putting slight tension on chain and a proper clearance between the gear and drive shaft (sheet of paper seperation). Reinstalled the covers, tested and was finished.

Ken - For model number kucs03ftss0

Ram always goes down and up ok. At end of return to up cycle it frequently runs and pounds/shakes machine several times before it stops. This all started when the foot treadle start switch acted up. Repaired and replaced the metal piece attached to treadle and which contacts the start button on frame of machine at bottom.
Hello Ken, Thank you for contacting us. I suggest checking the Directional Switch, PartSelect Number PS11744742 with a multi meter and check for continuity. You can also check the Drive Gear Kit for wear or damage. Hope this helps!
Compactor won’t automatically return after compacting . Must press off to complete cycle. Gear drive ok
Hello Rod, thank you for writing. We have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is the Directional Switch PartSelect Number PS11744742. The function of the directional switch on your trash compactor is to ensure the ram lowers to compress your trash, then returns to the top position. If your trash compactor does not complete this task, will not stop at the end of the compacting cycle, or is noisy during operation, you may need to replace the directional switch. We hope to hear from you soon.

We start the compactor and it goes down but then starts grinding when its operating and won't stop unless you turn it off and then back on. Then it will return to the top. Replaced gear a year ago but it seems wobbly. Not sure if that's the problem though after seeing something about a reverse switch.
Hello Timothy, thank you for contacting us. The issue is most probably related to the directional switch, part number PS11744742, the rotary switch, part number PS382679, and the drive gear kit, part number PS398589. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!

Trash compactor won't stop on its own. It goes back up to the top and i have to stop it.
Hello Anthony, thank you for your inquiry. If your trash compactor will not stop on its own and continues to run after the ram reaches the top, the issue might be with a faulty directional switch. We would recommend checking the directional switch, part number PS11744742, to solve the problem. We hope this helps!
