i replaced mine after 6 years - i found themanufactureer online (i forgot their name) call their tech support and they will tell you to replace the her AND MOST IMPORTANTLY - the chain because it stretched. you will go thru another gear if you don't replace the chain. Mine just broke again (13 years old now) but it is blowing a fuse and won't stop in the down position.

our compactor stopped working this weekend - RAM stuck in down position. Upon inspection, I noticed that one of the gears is stripped (the motor runs but the RAM doesn't come back up). I did some research and now able to identify the part that needs to be replaced. GE Gear Box, part number: AP2037749It is the middle picture in the link. My question is whether anyone has any experience replacing this part? By visual inspection of my unit, it doesn't seem to be a straightforward thing. GE is quoting me $450-500 to do the work. Any help would be much appreciated.
