Uspp! for Model Number ARB8057CSL I have an Amana refrigerator with a bottom freezer. At 7yrs of age the compressor went. After a $760 repair the compressor failed again (4 mos)and for some odd reason the new compressor was not available for three months. I am wondering if the first replacement compressor was not the right one and caused a major failure where the tech now says the refrig is not repairable due to oil bound lines. The first repalcement is an EMBRACO EGYS-80HLP. Is that correct replacement compressor? Or did they do my refrig in by installing the wrong type and cook my frig. as the tech also stated that it overheated and melted the pan. I am unable to cross reference the compressor that Amana says should be in the unit a W10160407.
Answer Hello USPP. Based on the model number you provided, the correct compressor W10309990 was ordered and installed. If there is oil in the lines and there was a burn out, the system could have been restricted causing it to overheat. Hope this helps. Read More...
