The lock assembly, designated with part number 675379, serves to keep trash compactor drawers firmly shut during use. This component is compatible with products from brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral.

For safe installation of the lock assembly, power off the compactor by either unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker. Wearing work gloves is advisable to protect your hands during this process.
