Additional Information

The compressor is a critical component in any refrigerator, often considered the heart of the cooling system. It works by compressing the refrigerant into a high-pressure gas, moving it through the condenser to dissipate heat, and then through the expansion device to cool the interior of the appliance. This compressor requires a software update for the refrigerator; order update kit part number CJT30000002 separately. Replacing a compressor is a complex process that usually addresses issues such as the refrigerator not cooling, making unusual noises, or starting and stopping frequently. Installation typically involves recovering the old refrigerant, brazing in the new compressor, vacuuming the system, and recharging with new refrigerant. It is essential to ensure that the replacement part matches the specifications of the original compressor to maintain efficiency and performance.

The compressor arrived smashed and broken. There was thick tape attached on the top like they were patching a hole. Parts were strewn all over the box. I am returning it.
