Whirlpool Freezer Compressor & Sealed System

This sealed-system compressor circulates refrigerant to cool your refrigerator, restoring normal cooling performance when the compressor fails. Designed to replace a failing compressor and help bring temperatures back to safe food-storage levels. What it does:

• Compresses and circulates refrigerant through the sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores cooling when the compressor motor runs properly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no cooling, loud humming or clattering sounds, or a refrigerator that cycles continuously
• May be the cause if the appliance frequently trips a circuit breaker or shows hard-starting behavior

• Sealed-system work requires certified HVAC/refrigeration service and proper refrigerant handling per local regulations
• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Compressor replacement often requires system evacuation, brazing, and recharge — do not attempt unless qualified
• Use the identical replacement part number and follow OEM service instructions to avoid damage

This is a replacement compressor for refrigerators manufactured by Whirlpool. The compressor plays a critical role in the refrigerator's ability to properly cool and preserve food. It adds heat and pressure to the system, as well as circulating refrigerant through the system. As the heart of the refrigerator, when the compressor fails, the appliance will no longer cool properly. Refrigerator compressors are subject to a great deal of wear and tear, voltage surges, heat, and other factors. Air, moisture, or dust entering the compressor can also cause damage. Signs the compressor may need to be replaced include frequent cycling, infrequent cycling, and failure to cool.This is a genuine OEM replacement part, and it is sold individually. It is compatible with Whirlpool, Amana, Admiral, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, Roper, and Kenmore branded refrigerators.
