Made for use with refrigerators by several major manufacturers, this is a full compressor kit. It is an internal part that is tasked with moving refrigerant throughout the appliance. It also works by adding pressure to part of the circuit to heat up the refrigerant. This creates a high pressure, hot gas that is moved to the compressor to be cooled and used to keep the appliance at the appropriate temperature. If the compressor is damaged or broken, it can cause the refrigerator to start making loud noises. The compressor may turn on and off more frequently than expected, created overheating and improper cooling, and create clicking noises. If the compressor kit is damaged, it should be replaced. Turn off the circuit breaker or unplug the refrigerator. Pull out the refrigerator and take off the access plate. Let it cool down before the compressor is removed. Use the contents of the kit to replace the part before reassembling and turning the power back on.This is a genuine OEM replacement part that can be used with Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, Westinghouse, Tappan, Crosley, Kelvinator, Universal, and Electrolux freezers and refrigerators. It is sold as an individual part.

This compressor grommet is a rubber mounting isolator that cushions and secures the compressor to the appliance chassis, helping reduce vibration and noise while preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature wear. What it does:

• Cushions compressor movement to reduce vibration transmitted to the cabinet

• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact that can wear mounting points
• Helps keep the compressor positioned and secured under load

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or base pan
• Replace grommets while supporting the compressor to avoid strain on lines and connections
• Inspect remaining mounting grommets; replace all worn isolators for best performance
