297199800 Frigidaire Refrigerator Compressor Kit

Refrigerator Compressor Kit

This compressor kit is designed for use in refrigerators from several leading brands, including Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Sears-Kenmore. It functions by circulating refrigerant within the appliance and applying pressure to heat the refrigerant, transforming it into a high-pressure, hot gas. This gas is then cooled down in the compressor, helping to maintain the refrigerator's proper temperature.

Signs of a faulty compressor include loud noises, frequent cycling on and off, overheating, improper cooling, and clicking sounds. If these issues arise, it may be necessary to replace the compressor kit.

To replace the compressor, first, disconnect the refrigerator from the power source by unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker. Move the refrigerator to access and remove the back panel. Allow the unit to cool before removing the old compressor. Follow the instructions provided in the kit to install the new part, then reassemble the refrigerator and restore power.

This genuine OEM replacement part is compatible with Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, Westinghouse, Tappan, Crosley, Kelvinator, Universal, and Electrolux refrigerators and freezers. It is available for purchase as an individual component.
