297406910 Frigidaire Refrigerator and Freezer Compressors

Refrigerator and freezer compressors are essential components in appliances from brands like Frigidaire and Electrolux. Frigidaire also manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore. This compressor kit is compatible with refrigerators from several major manufacturers. Its primary function is to circulate refrigerant within the appliance and increase pressure in part of the circuit to heat the refrigerant. This process generates a high-pressure, hot gas that is then cooled by the compressor, maintaining the appliance's temperature.

A damaged or malfunctioning compressor can lead to several issues, including loud noises, frequent cycling on and off, overheating, inadequate cooling, and clicking sounds. If these problems occur, replacing the compressor kit is necessary.

To replace the compressor, first, turn off the circuit breaker or unplug the refrigerator. Move the refrigerator to access the back panel and remove the access plate. Allow the compressor to cool before removing it. Follow the instructions provided in the kit to install the new compressor, then reassemble the unit and restore power.

This OEM replacement part is suitable for use with Frigidaire, Kenmore, Gibson, Westinghouse, Tappan, Crosley, Kelvinator, Universal, and Electrolux refrigerators and freezers. It is available for purchase as a single unit.
