This is the refrigerator's sealed-system compressor. It pressurizes and moves refrigerant through the system to remove heat from the cabinet, restoring consistent cooling performance when the original compressor has failed or lost capacity. What it does and common symptoms:

• Pumps and circulates refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser to remove heat
• Maintains target temperatures in both fresh food and freezer sections
• Symptoms of failure can include: no cool/poor cooling, unit warms up after short operation, humming then clicking from the compressor area, or repeated thermal overload trips
• Runs but not cool effectively when the compressor is weak or internally damaged (after ruling out start components and charge issues)

• 1 compressor

• Disconnect power before servicing; sealed-system work involves high pressure and high temperatures
• Sealed-system repairs require EPA Section 608 certification and specialized tools (gauges, vacuum pump, brazing equipment)
• Replace the filter-drier, braze connections properly, evacuate to deep vacuum, and charge to the model's specification
• Related components (start device/overload, run capacitor, controls) are tested before condemning the compressor

The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Whirlpool-brand side-by-side refrigerators. It facilitates connection between many internal control boards and components.  

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Faulty or intermittent operation of light fixtures   
• Error codes displayed for no reason
• Random component failures or malfunctions
• Buzzing noises emitting from electrical areas

As the connection backbone inside refrigerators, wire harnesses endure years of constant vibration and flexing from icemakers and cooling fans. Causes of failure are typically cracks developing in older insulation from normal wear.

Compatible also with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore side-by-side models. Do not cut or shorten any wires without verifying the wire function first.

Color: Black. Size: 12 oz. Acrylic appliance aerosol can spray paint.
