This compressor kit is made to be used with freezers and refrigerators by several manufacturers. It includes the compressor as well as all small parts associated with it. The compressor is a component that helps move the refrigerant throughout the appliance's system. Temperature sensors indicate when the compressor should run. If the compressor is damaged, it may make strange noises, no longer cool properly, or could begin to overheat.If any of these issues are present, the compressor should be replaced. First, make sure the refrigerator is not connected to a power source. Remove perishable items from the appliance and place them in an icebox, cooler with ice, or another refrigerator. Locate the compressor on the back of the appliance by removing the metal guard. Remove the wire between the compressor and the capacitor before taking off the compressor. Replace this part with the new one by connecting it to the wire and reassembling the appliance.This is a compressor kit for use with refrigerators and freezers made by Crosley, Electrolux, Westinghouse, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Gibson. It is sourced directly from the manufacturer and sold as a single part. This is a genuine OEM replacement part.

Rachael, Replacing the compressor would be just the compressor and filter drier but would not be the evaporator.

Ron, If you remove the start device from the compressor, you should read a "closed' circuit across the two small terminals. While the start device is dismounted, Use the meter and test each of the three pins on the compressor body to the compressor case(you may have to scratch or sand a spot to get to bare metal). There should be no resistance "open " circuit, between each pin to the compressor casing. Depending on run time and installation and are compressors run can get hot to very hot to the touch (enough to burn softer skin).

Donnell, Did it trip the breaker before the repair ? If not, there maybe a mis wire when the thermostat and button was replaced ? If not, Yes, it could be a defective compressor and drawing more than the 12 to 14 amps it usually takes to start the compressor and causing the breaker to trip.

Hello Donnell, You will need to unplug the unit and use a resistance meter to locate the short that is tripping the breaker. This is systematic and as long as the short reads on the test meter from the units plug, (always unplugged when testing for resistance to ground to prevent damage to the test meter), the problem still exists. You will have to unplug each component until the short to ground is gone, then test the component. This is normally done by an experienced technician since it is so involved and time consuming.
