The Compressor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators.

The compressor works with the condenser fan and evaporator coil to regulate temperatures inside the refrigerator. 

Causes of a faulty compressor can include gradual breakdown of motor windings, loss of refrigerant pressure over time, or failure of electrical components vital to operation.

Symptoms of a bad compressor are:  

• Elevated fridge/freezer temperatures unable to be maintained
• Frost patterns indicating poor or insufficient cooling 
• Abnormal vibrations or sounds upon compressor cycling
• Error codes displayed regarding cooling performance
