Disconnect power and allow the refrigerator to warm to room temperature before beginning. Remove the rear access panel, recover refrigerant, cut and braze the refrigerant lines, install W11455472, replace the filter drier, evacuate the system to deep vacuum, and recharge with the correct refrigerant type and weight per the model data plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✓ Compatible Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirmed compatible with WRQA59CNKZ, KRQC506MPS00. \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/pages\/contact\"\u003eContact us to verify your model number\u003c\/a\u003e before ordering — compressors are model and refrigerant-specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ⚠️ BIDIR HUB LINKS — FLAGGED FOR MANUAL ADDITION --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Add Whirlpool\/KitchenAid refrigerator model-specific hub page links here once handles are verified.

When it fails, the compressor clicks on and off without running — identical to a seized compressor. Shake the relay: if it rattles, it’s failed. Replacing the relay costs $15–25 and takes 5 minutes with no tools. If the relay is good and the compressor still won’t run, then W11455472 is the correct next step. Always rule out the relay before committing to a compressor replacement — it is the most common reason a compressor appears to have failed when it hasn’t.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e✓ Model-Specific Repair Pages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"model-link-grid\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/pages\/kitchenaid-refrigerator-parts-canada\" style=\"display:inline-block;border:1px solid #cc0000;border-radius:20px;padding:5px 14px;font-size:13px;color:#cc0000;text-decoration:none;margin:4px;\"\u003eFrigidaire REFRIGERATOR Oven Parts \u0026amp; Repair Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"OEM Genuine","offer_id":50576077160737,"sku":"W11455472","price":511.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/Whirlpool_Refrigerator_Compressor_W11455472_Restore_Cooling_Fix_Compressor_Failure.png?v=1782771760","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/en-us\/products\/w11455472-refrigerator-compressor","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
