General Electric Compressor & Sealed System

This condenser coil removes heat from the refrigerant so the refrigerator can cool effectively. Replacing a damaged or clogged condenser helps the appliance run more efficiently and maintain proper internal temperatures. What it does:

• Releases heat from the refrigerant after compression to allow the cooling cycle to continue
• Helps prevent the compressor from overheating and reduces excessive run time
• Commonly linked to symptoms like poor cooling, refrigerator running constantly, or unusual warmth in the cabinet
• May be visibly bent, corroded, blocked by debris, or leaking refrigerant if damaged

• One condenser coil

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before beginning any repair
• Condenser is usually mounted at the bottom or rear of the refrigerator; access may require removing kick plate or back panel
• Handle coils carefully to avoid bending fins or damaging tubing; worn protective gloves recommended
