The Compressor is an OEM component specifically designed for LG refrigerators. Located inside the refrigerator compartment, the compressor pressurizes and circulates refrigerant through the cooling system. Through precisely timed operation, the compressor maintains optimal freshness.

Symptoms of a bad compressor include:  

• Elevated interior temperatures failing to efficiently chill
• Loud buzzing or vibrating noises coming from inside the walls  
• Frost buildup indicating ineffective cooling cycles
• Complete cooling system failure leaving foods unpreserved

Causes involve refrigerant leaks, blocked airflow to the compressor, or simply wear over tens of thousands of hours of use breaking down moving components.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some refrigerator models from Kenmore and Sears. Replace to restore reliable, long-term temperature control keeping contents at peak freshness.

The Auger Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is responsible for dispensing ice from the icemaker into the ice bucket. 

Symptoms of a bad auger motor include:

• Slow or incomplete ice filling of the ice bucket
• Ice clumping or jamming in the auger assembly 
• Grinding or rubbing noises coming from the icemaker region
• The icemaker not producing any ice at all

Causes of a bad auger motor can be wear and tear over time, freezing or ice buildup preventing proper operation, or failure of internal motor components. 

This OEM LG part is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore models.
