Home & Kitchen Refrigerator Compressor Parts

A refrigerator compressor replacement parts set is essential for restoring cooling efficiency when a compressor becomes faulty, ensuring that food preservation is not compromised. Along with compressors, other crucial components include condenser coils, evaporator fans, start relays, and overload protectors. For convenience, a compressor replacement kit is often preferred, as it comes with compatible components needed for a smooth installation process.

While refrigerators rely heavily on compressors, similar systems like an air conditioner compressor serve the same purpose in HVAC units, circulating refrigerant and sustaining proper cooling cycles. In larger setups such as supermarkets and commercial kitchens, a chassis compressor assembly is commonly used, combining the compressor with its housing to offer structural stability, vibration control, and extended service life. These components are vital because they regulate refrigerant flow, balance system pressure, and ensure consistent cooling, making them indispensable across household appliances, freezers, and industrial cooling units.

At HnKParts, we offer a wide range of products, including filter driers, expansion valves, refrigerant hoses, capacitor kits, and thermostat controls designed for different capacity needs, such as 1/6 HP, 1/3 HP, and 1/2 HP compressors. Many parts also feature low-noise operation levels under 40 dB and energy-efficient designs with 10–15% reduced power consumption. Our collection includes trusted manufacturers such as Emerson, Danfoss, Tecumseh, Copeland, LG, Panasonic, and Samsung.

FAQs

What is included in a compressor replacement kit?

A compressor replacement kit usually includes the compressor, start relay, capacitor, tubing, and mounting accessories needed for installation.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling after compressor replacement?

It may be due to improper installation, refrigerant leakage, or wiring issues.

How do I know if my compressor is failing?

Signs include loud noises, overheating, or the fridge not maintaining temperature.

How do I know if my refrigerator compressor needs replacement?

You may need a refrigerator compressor replacement if the fridge stops cooling, makes loud noises, or the compressor overheats and won’t start.

Why does my new compressor keep tripping the breaker?

It could be caused by electrical overload, short circuits, or faulty start components.

Is replacing a compressor more cost-effective than buying a new fridge?

If the unit is under 8 years old, replacement is often cost-effective; older models may be better replaced.
