Refrigerator/Freezer Replacement Compressor Kit
This compressor kit is specifically crafted for compatibility with refrigerators from prominent brands such as Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Sears-Kenmore. Serving as a vital internal component, it facilitates the movement of refrigerant within the appliance. The compressor functions by pressurizing part of the circuit, thereby heating the refrigerant and transforming it into a high-pressure, hot gas. This gas is subsequently cooled, aiding in the regulation of the refrigerator’s internal temperature.
A faulty compressor can lead to several issues, including increased noise levels, frequent cycling, overheating, and inefficient cooling. Additionally, clicking sounds can signal potential compressor failure. Immediate replacement of a damaged compressor kit is advised.
To replace the compressor kit, first disconnect the power supply by either turning off the circuit breaker or unplugging the refrigerator. Carefully move the appliance away from the wall and detach the access plate. Ensure the unit has cooled down before removing the existing compressor. Adhere to the provided instructions to install the new compressor, reassemble the refrigerator, and restore the power supply.
This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part is compatible with refrigerators and freezers from brands like Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, Westinghouse, Tappan, Crosley, Kelvinator, Universal, and Electrolux. It is available for purchase individually.
