6651388582 Kenmore Trash Compactor - Instructions

I followed the you tube video instructions provided by customer care. This involved pulling the unit free from the cabinet, removing several screws that held the housing in place, this gave access to the wheel assembly, then I removed the nuts that held the wheel assembly in place. Fitting the new wheel assemblies was easy as was replacing the housing screws. After reinserting the draw and pushing the unit back into the cabinet it worked like new

Removed 2 screws, pulled out old handle, inserted new drawer handle and replaced the 2 screws.

The drawer handle that was delivered was black and not brown. Black was the preferred color because the old handle was black.

As per directions

This new one from part select I think fit better than the original so all I had to do was install the handles as the depiction on the packaging showed and install it. Less than 1 minute.

Removed the switch knob, the outer nut, and the front plate.
Unplugged the old switch from the 3 wires and plugged them into the new switch and put it back together with the new knob. Probably less than 5 minutes.

Upon the receipt of my part it just had to be slipped into place. I had the part I needed within 3 days of ordering.
My had ordered parts for various items in the past and we have always been very satisfied with the care and experteis of this company.

The plastic power nut had stripped out on my 12 year old trash compactor. Ordered 2 new ones from Partselect and installed them. Now it works like new again.

It is held on with three screws. The PartSelect was the only web site that showed me a picture of the part I wanted. The other web sites said it was no longer made. It was shipped out the day I ordered it, and took a minute to install it. Will order again from your company - great service - thanks.

Removed and replaced in less than 15 minutes. Works like new again

Took under 5 minutes to unscrew old handle and screw on the new one. Identical part to old handle, compactor looks and works like new!

took appliance out of cabinet, found the problem to be two nuts on the big screw bars that drive the compaction machine up and down. These things were wore out. We replaced them and turn the electricity back on and tried the compactor and it worked perfect. Of course here was to top cover that had to be removed and reinstalled . all in all it wasn't to difficult. A new machine cost 1100 dollars. This old one bought in 1988 cost 350 dollars. so thank God this fixed it.

There were two screws holding the handle on, We removed the two screws, removed the broken handle and screwed the new handle on.

Remove the compactor drawer. Remove the front cover from the controls. TAKE A PHOTO OF THE WIRING TO THE EXISTING SWITCH! Remove the screw from the side of the switch and pull the switch out from the machine. You have to look very carefully at the switch to see the color labels on each prong of the switch. Attach gray wire to top prong (GR), red wire to middle prong (R) and so forth. Compare your work to the photo you took. Replace the switch, front plate and drawer. IT WORKS. YAY. Warning, my husband is dyslexic and attached the wires in reverse order and the compactor did not run at all. So, be sure you match wire to label.
