W11370574 Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor

Refrigerator Compressor Overview:
Whirlpool's product range includes brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This compressor, an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, is tailored for use in Whirlpool French door refrigerators. It is situated in the refrigerator compartment and is essential for driving the refrigeration cycle and ensuring effective cooling.

Over time, issues such as refrigerant loss or condensation accumulation within the compressor's sealed casing can occur, primarily due to prolonged usage. The motor windings or pistons may also wear out due to frequent cycling.

Indications of a failing compressor are:
- The refrigerator fails to maintain the set temperatures.
- Frost accumulation is noticeable in specific areas.
- There are evident electrical burning odors.
- Uncommon noises are heard, particularly during startup.

Replacing a faulty compressor with this OEM Whirlpool part can help restore the refrigerator to its optimal cooling efficiency. The component is designed to resist condensation and preserve motor function effectively.

Additionally, this compressor is compatible with certain models from GE, Crosley, Samsung, and Kenmore, enhancing its versatility for long-term use in various French door refrigerators.
