Review on πŸ”§ High-Quality Drive Gear Kit for Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore Trash Compactor - Lifetime Appliance 882699 by Matt Chirila

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality equipment. - Trash compactor parts and accessories

Replacement for the original mechanism that has fallen apart due to age. I put new gears in, ran the garbage collector 3 times, and then on the next compact cycle it started making horrible noises. Took it apart again to see the gears just don't mesh well and as soon as it comes under load the gears slip against each other. When the gears move you can hear "tick, tick, tick" in the video as the large gear now has a flat spot after it first slipped when we heard the horrible noise. I replaced this kit with a new OE kit and the gasket is working perfectly again. I had no problems returning the kit through Revain and got a full refund so I gave it two stars instead of one.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Unsafe
