Will August 14, 2020 for Model Number WR87X10111 Coil resistance on my compressor is 8.2 throughout, does that meet the correct tolerance?
1 Answer Will, the resistance for the compressor WR87X10111 would be 10O across all terminals. The measurement of 8.2O is outside of even a 10% tolerance. Read More...
Jomar July 24, 2020 for Model Number Embraco vcc3 1156 01 f 41 Hi, I have an GE refrigerator that I bought a new inverter the compresor part is VEGZ 8H 230V-53 TO 150HZ Embraco, The old Invertes is a vcc3 1156 01 f 41 Input 115-127v-/50-60hz output 230v-53 to 150hz both 3.3A 1/3h/p and I receive an Embraco vcc7 2378 k7 d 99 input 115-127v-/50-60hz output 230v-53 to 133hz both 3.3A 1/3hp I am worry because the output power it is not the same and I am afraid that it could damage my compressor because the original was 150hz and the new one is 133hz in the output, if some one can help me with that because I do not want to damage my compressor puting a wrong part.
1 Answer Jomar, The compressor will be fine, it looks like the manufacturer has decreased to make the compressor more efficient and hopefully will last longer. Read More...
John April 23, 2020 for Model Number ge profile psc25nswass refrigerator The repairman said a new compressor is needed for my 13 year refrigerator. However, it is still partially working because the freezer compartment cools to 22 degrees. The refrigerator cools only down to 58 degrees. Is it possible that the refrigerant is low and it can be recharged? Since the compressor is still working partially, does that mean there is not leak. Should I bother to try to add more refrigerant? I have seen a U-tube video on how to do it.
1 Answer John, it is possible that there could be a freon leak or that the compressor has weakened to where it can not push the freon properly. In regards to working on a sealed system, an EPA certified person is required to perform any repairs concerning freon. Read More...
Jeff March 11, 2020 for Model Number PFCF1NJWABB I saw that another customer had asked a question related to his service person finding the ohm readings from the windings on this compressor (wr87x10111) to be virtual all the same. It is important to note that this is an inverter compressor. The windings will read lower resistance than a normal compressor, and the ohm readings will also be virtually the same. I would also like to ask what is included with this compressor? It appears there are some pre-formed tubing, mounting grommets, and a liquid line filter/drier. What is the rectangular item? Thank you!
1 Answer Jeff, On an inverter compressor, the resistance readings will be all about the same when testing the windings. You would be correct on what comes with the compressor is the tubing, grommets, filter dryer and then you have a process stub and the rectangular piece is a cover for the wiring once the compressor is hooked up.

Gerry February 24, 2020 I have a water chiller using a Panasonic compressor with these numbers, not sure which are model or serial: DHW57685RAU. also 9118770928 and SL6578430. Shows locked rotor of 8.3 amps on name plate. Need to replace compressor, what are specs of this compressor and applicable replacement? Also will need to replace cap tube and liquid dryer as well as suction dryer. Recommendations
1 Answer Gerry, if the model number of the appliance could be provided in a new inquiry, this will allow for the most accurate part number to be presented. For any sealed system replacement, an HVAC certified technician would need to perform the repair. Read More...
Hlhgxu January 06, 2020 for Model Number ZISS420DRISS I have a GE Monogram frig, Model ZISS420DRISS. It stopped cooling on the last day of 2019. The fan was working. A repair person came and found the compressor had the same ohm reading of 6.5 on all three pins. He looked up tech information on GE support site which said that ohm reading should be between 9-13. He said that this was odd. Even though the ohm reading seemed to be lower than the specs, but all three pins read the same which indicated a good compressor. So as a trial and error, he replaced the inverter wanting to see what happens. The frig has been working. The frig cooled down, but the compressor seems to run hot. The compressor case and the high side tube are hot to the touch. Also I happened to notice that the compressor needed 4-5 kicks to restart after stopping. And the restart seemed violent. The compressor shook in each restart such that the core inside knocked the case which made a knocking sound. I had heard of the knocking sound for months before the frig went down. I had no idea where the sound was coming from. So it is running now, but I am not sure if everything is normal, if the ohm spec is between 9 -13, and if it is okay to run the compressor at 6.5 ohm reading when the spec is between 9-13. I would like to get ahead of it if it is not and it is going to break down again. Advice much appreciated.
1 Answer Hlhgxu, the compressor windings need to be within the tolerance range for it to properly function. As the resistances are weak, and the compressor is "kicking", this would suggest that the compressor is starting hard and the windings have more than likely started to fuse, indicating that the compressor will need to be replaced. An HVAC certified technician would be necessary for this repair. Read More...
Ferg Wilmer December 15, 2019 for Model Number Embraco VEGZ 8H Is there an adequate replacement compressor for an Embraco VEGZ 8H 230v to 150Hz. I can not seem to find a spare part. thanks Ferg
1 Answer Hello Ferg, if you can supply us with a model, we can try to locate the correct compressor. Thanks! Read More...
Joe November 17, 2019 for Model Number PFCF1PJXCBB Hello, GE Profile Model PFCF1PJXC BB Unit is 10 years old. Freezer on bottom could not stay down to required temperate, only got worse and then the refrigerator started loosing it’s cool. The unit started making a low (clanking and clunking?) noise. I gently banged on the compressor and the tune changed on it but only for maybe two seconds, then back. Fan is spinning but not sure how fast the fan is supposed to spin. No other noises inside or out. I Vacuumed and blew out dust from around the condenser. It got pretty dusty again from after cleaning it out before, many years ago. Unloaded it, unplugged it and let the compressor cool down. Replaced the cardboard cover on the bottom. Plugged unit back in and maybe 10 seconds later the noise came back. Let it run for about an hour but unit will not get cold. Compressor, condenser,.....?? What is your professional opinion?
1 Answer Joe, Based on your description it does sound like you may have some compressor issues. You are likely to need a qualified technician to confirm and do the sealed system work due to the regulations on handling the refrigerant. Read More...
Steven November 08, 2019 for Model Number PFSS5RKZASS I have a GE Profile refrigerator that just stopped running. I checked the breaker, receptacle and power cord and found no issues. After letting the refrigerator sit for awhile I noticed zeros flashing on the display panel. However, refrigerator never kicked on. Do you think I need to replace the main board? Or maybe issues with the compressor or condenser? Thank you.
1 Answer Steven, it is possible that the unit has locked into a test mode. All four temperature pads will need to be pressed at the same time and held down for around 3 seconds, "00"s should flash on both the freezer and refrigerator display. Then immediately release the pads and press any button, the "0"s should stay on solid at this point. From there, the temperature pads will be used to change the display numbers to 1 (freezer display) and 5 (refrigerator display) and then press any pad other than the temperature pads. This will cause a control reset to correct if it is stuck in test mode. If this does not correct the issue, then the failure would be the main control WR55X11098C based on what has been described.

Nancy May 02, 2019 for Model Number PCF25MGWAWW There is a dark brown/black tarry substance in the drain pan. It seems to be from the compressor unit, based on the flow pattern. What is your advice on how to proceed? (problem is neither the freezer nor the refrigerator gets cold enough).
1 Answer Hello Nancy, If the substance looks and feels like oil and the compressor is running and is cool, you have probably have lost the Freon from the sealed system. This will need a Freon certified technician to perform the repair so the repair will be costly. You may need to consider replacing the unit since this is a critical repair that may not end well and you could have the same issue in less than a year from the date of the repair, (depending on the technician that performs the repair).
