- ✔ The motor-compressor coupler, start relay, and overload have been tested and ruled out
- ✔ Household power supply and outlet are confirmed good
- ✔ The evaporator coils are not frozen solid (defrost system is functioning)
- ✔ ONLY problem is the compressor not running and zero cooling throughout the unit

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Refrigerator completely warm — no cooling in fridge or freezer compartments
- Compressor does not start or run at all — silent from the back of the unit
- Compressor attempts to start, trips overload, and shuts down repeatedly
- Unit runs continuously with fans operating but temperature never drops
- Confirmed compressor failure via amp draw test or refrigerant pressure check
- Previous coupler and relay replacement did not restore operation
✔ If these symptoms match and lower-cost components have been ruled out, the compressor assembly is the confirmed failed component.
✔ Replacing this compressor kit restores full refrigeration capacity immediately upon correct installation.

A compressor replacement requires evacuating and recharging the refrigerant system — this job must be performed by a licensed HVAC/R technician with EPA 608 certification (or equivalent in Canada). While the system is open, replace the filter-drier to prevent moisture contamination of the new compressor.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: ADVANCED — Professional installation required. Disconnect power and allow the unit to warm to room temperature before beginning. Compressor replacement requires refrigerant recovery, system evacuation, compressor swap, and refrigerant recharge — this work requires certified refrigeration equipment and a licensed technician. Improper installation will void the compressor warranty and may result in repeat failure within weeks.
💡 Pro Tip
The W10832994 compressor kit is the correct fix when the compressor itself has mechanically failed — but the motor-compressor coupler (W11504431 / W11504415 / W11504416) and start relay are far cheaper parts that produce identical no-cooling symptoms. Always test and replace those components first before committing to a compressor replacement. If the coupler and relay are confirmed good and the compressor still won't run, this kit is your solution.
