Mike May 17, 2015 for Model Number LFFH2067DW2 I believe the compressor for my Frigidaire Up-right freezer has gone out. At first the freezer stopped freezing. And now - when plugged in; nothing is working. Wondering if it better to 1) replace the compressor or 2) buy another entire freezer. The freezer was purchased in 2005 and it is now 2015 - at least 10 years old. Very good shape - exterior and interior. Compressor replacement kit will run $250.00. New freezer unit - $600 to $800. Can a YouTube video walk a amateur such as myself in fixing this unit?
1 Answer Mike, You will want to do some testing to see if the compressor is actually the issue. On the back of the unit on the left side frame of the opening there is a defrost timer. You will want to turn the dial until it clicks to see if the unit comes back on. This may just be a start relay problem with the unit not cooling and may be a defrost timer issue for it not coming out of defrost. Read More...
Danny October 18, 2014 for Model Number everest model EMGR48 Hi. The compressor on my commercial refrigerator is too hot. Whenever I turned on the refrigerator, it shut itself down. What is the replacement model for this compressor? Thank you.
Chad March 26, 2014 for Model Number FRT21LRG My compressor is over heating enough so that it has melted the sound deadening pad. I know it is air cooled but what would the most likely cause for the over heat and would it be worth replacing
1 Answer Hello Chad. The compressor is suppose to get hot as the sealed system removes heat. Make sure the coils on the back of the unit can get fresh air and it is not stuck inside a hole in the wall. This will help reduce the heat from the compressor. Read More...
Larry February 04, 2014 for Model Number 253.9133383 My freezer quit I can unplug it and then plug it back up and you can hear the compressor come on for a second and then go off . I think it the thermal protector on the side of the compressor.

Jon January 24, 2014 for Model Number 253.21041103 Kenmore freezer has on suction port and 3 discharge ports?? can I replace the compressor with one that just has a suction and discharge port? the lower two steel lines actually go up into the cabinet of the freezer and one is hooked to the what would call the main discharge(High Side port) what should can I do with the lower two steel lines.
1 Answer Jon, The 2 lines that go to the oil cooler can be left disconnected. One of them will go to the discharge and the other will need to be crimped off. Read More...

Joan March 20, 2013 for Model Number FU161LRW1 Need compressor for that model Westinghouse upright freezer, manufactured 05-88.
Tom June 23, 2012 for Model Number ffu20f3aw1 I installed a new compresser, evaporator coil, heat exchange assembly, and filter dryer. After checking for leaks and vacuum tested good, I tried charging the system but no freon is going into the evaporator coil. The filter dryer frosts back and forth. No cold to unit. There is freon inside the system.
1 Answer Hello Tom, Sounds like you have a stopped up line. If you used solder flux, you may have used too much. If not, you may have heated a line for too long. A vacuum can still be drawn and depending where the stopped up line is, the freon can still be installed. If a line is stopped up, the freon that's in the system cannot circulate so there will be no cooling effect. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Scott. You will need to look on the tag inside the refrigerator and see how much freon the compressor 5304478809 is calling for. Hope this helps. Read More...
Fat Tony July 20, 2011 for Model Number AP4303562 Is this the replacement compressor for a Fridgid-Air Stand up freezer model FFU21M7HWH ? This model is NOT listed in the cross reference section. Also are ports marked with a tag or something ? Am I correct that the 2 larger ports at 3 & 9 o'clock are low side/suction ports and the smaller port below the 3 o'clock port is the high side liquid port ?
1 Answer Hello, we are showing that the correct compressor for this unit is 5304478809. The compressor will be the same as the original, it will mount the same way as the old one. Thanks! Read More...
