Description

This inverter is the electronic control that powers and regulates the refrigerator's variable-speed compressor. When it fails, the compressor may not run, leading to little or no cooling even though interior lights and fans can still operate.

• Converts household AC to the proper power for the compressor and varies speed per the main control's commands
• Helps maintain stable temperatures during normal operation
• Failure may result in warm sections, compressor not running, or intermittent cooling
• Often suspected when fans run but the compressor stays off and the compressor windings test good

What's included: Includes compressor inverter control module. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; the inverter can retain a charge briefly after unplugging.
• Mount the module securely and ensure all keyed connectors are fully seated; route wires away from hot or moving parts.
