Danny: I'm having the same problem and I like your idea, but would you please describe it more; not sure I understand exactly how to position the "L" bracket, what type / size of bracket, etc. Thanks, Steve Originally Posted by: dannys00  I also found that after 2 years my GE Profile Trash Compactor (purchased in June '07), the pedal was hanging down on the left side. I searched the internet and called GE to no avail.
After a few attempts, I finally solved the problem by removing the screw on the left side and adding a metal "L" bracket, with the bottom of the L flush against the back of the front panel. That way, when you depress the pedal, the screw can't pop out of the metal it's attached to.
Good luck!

The sheet metal eventually gives way on the drawer and you can fix this very easily for about $3. I used two small washers and JB Weld. File the washer and the metal surface on the drawer so they are shiny, mix up some JB Weld and glue the washers in place so that they repair the missing metal.
Works absolutely like new.
