Question:

What are the indicators that a new compressor or condenser is needed for a refrigerator?

Answer:
Toni Samson, Refrigerator Technician

Indicators that a new compressor or condenser might be needed include persistent cooling issues, loud noises from the refrigerator, and continuous motor running despite other repairs. When a leak is severe and cannot be fixed through standard methods like patching or tubing replacement, installing a new compressor or condenser becomes necessary. This is often a more expensive repair but is crucial for restoring the refrigerator’s functionality. A professional evaluation can determine whether a complete replacement is needed based on the extent of the damage and the age of the appliance.
