Whirlpool W10439651 Drive Motor for Trash Compactor

The Whirlpool W10439651 Trash Compactor Drive Motor powers the compaction mechanism that compresses waste inside the drawer. It is installed within the appliance cabinet and where it connects to the drive system for moving the compaction components during operation. It converts electrical energy into mechanical motion and transferring that movement through connected gears and drive assemblies. It moves the compaction ram through its operating cycle to reduce the volume of waste placed inside the container. The motor operates during each compaction sequence and coordinates with the mechanical system to complete the compression and return movements of the compactor assembly.
