Kenmore / Sears Compressor & Sealed System

This sealed-system compressor circulates refrigerant to cool your refrigerator, restoring normal cooling performance when the compressor fails. Designed to replace a failing compressor and help bring temperatures back to safe food-storage levels. What it does:

• Compresses and circulates refrigerant through the sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores cooling when the compressor motor runs properly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no cooling, loud humming or clattering sounds, or a refrigerator that cycles continuously
• May be the cause if the appliance frequently trips a circuit breaker or shows hard-starting behavior

• Sealed-system work requires certified HVAC/refrigeration service and proper refrigerant handling per local regulations
• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Compressor replacement often requires system evacuation, brazing, and recharge — do not attempt unless qualified
• Use the identical replacement part number and follow OEM service instructions to avoid damage

The Compressor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is the main component responsible for cooling the fridge interior and freezing food. The compressor operates the refrigeration cycle by compressing and condensing refrigerant which allows for the critical exchange of heat.

Symptoms of a bad compressor include:

• Inconsistent or fluctuating interior temperatures  
• Frozen foods not freezing properly
• Abnormal vibrations or sounds emanating from the rear of the fridge
• The fridge failing to cool at all

Causes of compressor failure can be a gradual decline in performance over many years of use. Manufacturing defects or damage from moisture or impact can also cause premature failure.

Note: Includes start device, capacitor, drier, and grommets. Also, order tubing kit AP3083228

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

This heat exchanger assembly circulates and transfers heat within the appliance to restore proper temperature control and efficient operation. Replacing a damaged exchanger helps stop uneven heating and restore normal cycle performance. What it does:

• Transfers heat between internal airflows to maintain consistent operating temperatures
• Restores proper heat distribution when leaks, corrosion, or damage reduce performance
• Helps resolve symptoms like uneven heating, weak heat output, or longer-than-normal cycles
• Works as the OEM-designed replacement to match fit and function

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair; follow all safety precautions
• Handle the exchanger carefully—sharp edges and fragile fins may be present
• Some disassembly of the cabinet or housing is usually required; keep track of fasteners and seals

This refrigerator compressor circulates refrigerant to cool the appliance and restore proper temperatures. Replaces a failed compressor to help the refrigerator maintain set temperatures when the cooling system is compromised. What it does:

• Pumps refrigerant through the sealed cooling system to enable heat exchange and cooling.
• Runs the refrigeration cycle so the refrigerator and freezer can reach and hold target temperatures.
• Common symptom linkage: fridge not cooling, compressor humming or not running, or frequent cycling.
• Can cause system pressure issues if damaged or leaking.

• One compressor (single sealed unit)

• Power should be disconnected before beginning work and the refrigerant must be recovered per regulations.
• System evacuation, leak testing, and proper recharge with the correct refrigerant are necessary after replacement.
• May require replacement of mounting hardware, start device, or filter-drier—verify system condition during service.

This refrigerator compressor assembly restores the sealed-system compression that circulates refrigerant so the appliance can cool properly. It replaces a failed compressor to help return the refrigerator to normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Compresses refrigerant to maintain the refrigeration cycle and enable cooling
• Commonly replaces compressors that hum, run constantly, or fail to start
• Used when the sealed refrigeration system loses pressure or the compressor motor fails
• Can resolve symptoms like warm compartments or fluctuating temperatures

• One compressor assembly as shown

• Replacement requires certified HVAC/R service and proper refrigerant handling
• System must be recovered, opened, evacuated, and recharged per OEM specs
• Verify electrical connections, mounting, and line fittings match the appliance before installing
• Test for leaks and proper system pressures after installation

This drain cup collects and channels defrost meltwater away from the evaporator area to the fridge drain system, helping prevent leaks and ice buildup. Fits in the evaporator/defrost tray area to guide water to the drain. What it does:

• Catches meltwater from the evaporator and funnels it toward the drain line or drain pan
• Helps prevent water pooling, leaks, and ice buildup around the evaporator
• Restores proper defrost drainage when the original cup is cracked, warped, or missing
• Simple, passive plastic part — no electrical connections

• One drain cup

• Remove power to the appliance before accessing internal panels; follow manufacturer safety guidelines
• Typically installs in the evaporator/defrost tray area; may require removing interior panels or the evaporator cover
• Verify correct orientation so water flows into the drain tube; replace any damaged drain grommets or tubes

This heat exchanger suction line kit replaces a damaged or corroded suction line assembly to restore proper refrigerant flow and heat transfer in the cooling system. It helps maintain consistent compartment temperatures and system efficiency. What it does:

• Transfers heat from the refrigerant suction line so the compressor and evaporator operate correctly
• Replaces cracked, kinked, or corroded tubing that can cause refrigerant loss or reduced cooling
• Helps address symptoms such as warm or inconsistent temperatures, visible oil or residue at fittings, or abnormal frost/ice patterns
• Restores a sealed refrigerant path after tubing damage or when corrosion has compromised the line

• Intended for qualified service technicians only; system access requires certified refrigerant handling
• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and follow all safety precautions
• Installation may require brazing, flare fittings, or specialty tools; verify leak-tight connections and pressure-test per OEM procedures
• Evacuate and recharge the refrigerant system to OEM specifications after installation
