Description
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)
What's included:
Install notes:
- 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
