Maytag Refrigerator Compressor & Sealed System

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 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

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 replacement water fill tube routes water to the appliance's dispenser/ice system so you get proper fill and reduced leaks. It restores reliable water delivery when the original tube is cracked or clogged. What it does:

• Directs water from the supply to the dispenser or ice/water mechanism
• Prevents leaks when intact and properly secured
• Helps ensure consistent water flow for ice makers and dispensers
• Worn or damaged tubes can cause pooling, low water delivery, or intermittent filling

• One replacement water fill tube

• Turn off the appliance power and water supply before starting work
• Inspect fittings and seals; replace clamps or gaskets if worn
• Slide tube into place and secure with the original or new clamps for a leak-free connection

The Evaporator Coil is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for absorbing heat from the refrigerator interior as refrigerant passes through its fine tubes and fins. Cool air is then circulated through convection to maintain consistent temperatures.

Causes of a bad evaporator coil can include mineral deposits or frozen moisture clogging fins over time, physical damage to tubes, or corrosion of metal surfaces.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator coil include:  

• Inability to decrease interior temperatures sufficiently  
• High energy bills due to inefficient heat transfer
• Abnormal ice buildup inside due to poor airflow
• Warm or lukewarm areas inside the refrigerator compartment

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and some GE models.
