Product review (5 stars): Perfect trash compactor replacement part kennmore 9871686
The knob is perfect!  My trash compactor is 30 years + and worked great until knob came off and was lost by kids.  I called sears and they told me to contact manufacturer because part was discontinued kennmore part number 9871686  and then the replacement part 9871470 was also discontinued.  This  knob worked  perfectly and should be listed as an alternate replacement part .
