Official Trash compactor parts


Trash compactors are a great kitchen appliance for getting rid of garbage in a clean and efficient way. However, with all the small parts moving around inside coming into contact with food and other waste products, components can degrade over time. Trash compactors can also become damaged if improper items are placed inside them, from electrical problems to the drawer getting stuck due to a broken hinge. Regardless of whether the problem is mechanical or electrical, Sears PartsDirect has the parts that will allow you to perform a DIY repair on your trash compactor.
