W10276644 Whirlpool S Product Lineup

Whirlpool's product lineup includes brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. The compressor, a key OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, is designed specifically for use in Whirlpool refrigerators. Positioned within the refrigerator's cabinet, it plays a vital role by circulating refrigerant through the cooling system to maintain stable temperatures in the food storage areas. Efficient functioning of the compressor is essential for keeping food fresh and ensuring the refrigerator operates effectively.

Signs of a failing compressor may include:

- Unusually high internal temperatures that cannot be regulated
- Increased noise levels, such as buzzing or humming from the refrigerator
- Uncommon frost or ice accumulation in non-typical areas
- Frequent turning on and off of the refrigerator lights

Compressor failures can be caused by normal wear and tear on internal components, a loss of refrigerant which forces the compressor to work harder, or disruptions in the coolant's flow and pressure.

This OEM compressor is also compatible with refrigerator models from Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
