Works great but plastic

knob would not stay tight and broke again
September 08, 2019|Cquit, CA

Knob would not really work and it would not stay tight and then broke again. Since compactor was 10 years old and this was second part that had broken in two weeks, we gave up after spending almost $100 on parts and bought a new one - a kitchenaide this time.

Ease of InstallationEasy
Duration of Installation30 minutes - 1 hour
