Dacor Refrigerator Compressor & Sealed System

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
• The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

The Compressor Start Device is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for starting the compressor, which is crucial for the refrigeration cycle. The start device provides the necessary electrical current to initiate the compressor's operation, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the proper cooling temperature.

You should replace the compressor start device if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad start device can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or damage from power surges. A malfunctioning start device can prevent the compressor from starting, leading to cooling issues in the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or at all
• The compressor not running or making a clicking sound as it tries to start
• Unusual noises coming from the compressor area
• The refrigerator cycling on and off frequently

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Compressor Start Device is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This device is essential for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for circulating refrigerant through the cooling system, thus maintaining the refrigerator's temperature. The start device works by providing the necessary power boost to get the compressor running.

Over time, the compressor start device can wear out or fail due to electrical issues, regular wear and tear, or overheating. A faulty start device will prevent the compressor from starting, resulting in cooling problems.

Symptoms of a bad compressor start device include:

• The refrigerator not cooling
• The compressor not running or starting intermittently
• Clicking sounds coming from the refrigerator
• Overheating of the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This refrigerator compressor is the heart of the sealed cooling system. It compresses and circulates refrigerant so the fresh food and freezer sections reach and maintain set temperatures, restoring cooling performance when the original unit has failed.

• Compresses and moves refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat from the cabinet
• Restores cooling when a failed or seized compressor is the cause of no-cool/weak-cool conditions
• Symptoms include a warm refrigerator or freezer, extended run time with little cooling
• Clicking or humming from the compressor area with no start, or overheating and cycling on overload

• Sealed-system service requires EPA Section 608 certification, recovery equipment, brazing, deep vacuum, and precise recharging
• Disconnect power and properly recover refrigerant before opening the system; replace the filter-drier, braze with nitrogen purge, leak-test, evacuate, then charge to the specification on the model's data plate
• Transfer any model-specific grommets, brackets, tubing, and external inverter/start components from the original unit or replace as directed in the service manual

This is the refrigerator's sealed-system compressor. It pressurizes and moves refrigerant through the system to remove heat from the cabinet, restoring consistent cooling performance when the original compressor has failed or lost capacity. What it does and common symptoms:

• Pumps and circulates refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat
• Maintains target temperatures in both fresh food and freezer sections
• Symptoms of failure can include: no cool/poor cooling, unit warms up after short operation, humming then clicking from the compressor area, or repeated thermal overload trips
• Runs but not cool effectively when the compressor is weak or internally damaged (after ruling out start components and charge issues)

• 1 compressor

• Disconnect power before servicing; sealed-system work involves high pressure and high temperatures
• Sealed-system repairs require EPA Section 608 certification and specialized tools (gauges, vacuum pump, brazing equipment)
• Replace the filter-drier, braze connections properly, evacuate to deep vacuum, and charge to the model's specification
• Related components (start device/overload, run capacitor, controls) are tested before condemning the compressor
