Kitchenaid trash compactor hard to open

Model Number: KUCS03FTSS0 Brand: Kitchen Aid Age: 1 - 5 years

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com

My Kitchenaid trash compactor KUCS03FTSS0 is extremely hard to open. I have to literally stand on the foot pedal to get it open. Everything else works normally. Any advice?

I see this is a pretty old thread, but just wondering if you ever found the solution. My compactor has the same problem.

Thanks,
Dave
