Product Description

Trash Compactor Switchoff Specifications

Upgrade your Whirlpool trash compactor with this authentic OEM SWITCH-OFF. Designed for select models of Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and Magic Chef appliances, this switch-off is integral for peak performance. Its function is to deactivate or reverse the motor to hoist the ram if the trash drawer falls out of alignment within the cabinet. To ensure the safety of the installation process, unplug the appliance or disconnect the house circuit breaker before starting. Because the size and shape of parts can vary slightly, it is advised to verify the compatibility of this specific switch-off with your model. Wear work gloves during the installation process for optimal hand protection.

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
My compactor is over 35 years old. Needed rebuild. Noisy. Quick cycle. Overload.
Replaced the bearing assembly at the base of both ram screws (worn out and noisy)
Replaced the drawer switch in the lower back (broken)
Replaced the top up/down switch (old and faulty)
Replaced the nylon ram nuts.
Replaced the control panel on/off/start switch.
Replaced the chain, and chain gear set.
Replaced the motor.
Replaced both sets of drawer rollers.
Final cost in parts - $450 - new compactor $1100. Works like new.
Had to be creative in the 2 drawer switch as they are now longer offered for sale. Found suitable replacements.

This may be my last chance at repairing this.

How difficult is it to replace this part?

Hello Peter, Thank you for your inquiry. It should just pull out and have wires attached to the prongs. Remove the wires from the old switch, attach them to the new one and plug the switch back in. Hope this helps!
