Product review (4 stars): Genuine whirlpool upgrade, a bit tricky to install, works well when fininshed.
I was glad to find this fix and upgrade for my Kitchenaid trash compactor. It's a bit tricky to precisely drill the two perfectly aligned holes even with the supplied template. And since the two holes are so close together even a little offset can significantly change the angle of the long lever arm attached to the mounting plate. So be super extra careful aligning and then drilling the two holes. Otherwise it's very easy to install and works great.

This new design no longer uses the pedal to activate the compactor. Instead there's a new button in the lower right area below the pedal that you have to press with your foot. It's a bit tricky to do while wearing a slipper.
