Additional Information
The compressor is a critical component in any refrigerator, often considered the heart of the cooling system. It works by compressing the refrigerant into a high-pressure gas, moving it through the condenser to dissipate heat, and then through the expansion device to cool the interior of the appliance. This compressor requires a software update for the refrigerator; order update kit part number CJT30000002 separately. Replacing a compressor is a complex process that usually addresses issues such as the refrigerator not cooling, making unusual noises, or starting and stopping frequently. Installation typically involves recovering the old refrigerant, brazing in the new compressor, vacuuming the system, and recharging with new refrigerant. It is essential to ensure that the replacement part matches the specifications of the original compressor to maintain efficiency and performance.

LG Compressor
The compressor arrived smashed and broken. There was thick tape attached on the top like they were patching a hole. Parts were strewn all over the box. I am returning it.

The sad state of energy efficient products
I did not install this unit, but waited 3 weeks for service from Sears Service. It needed an additional part, which the Sears parts department service employee wisely told me, was also necessary. The very competent Service Man installed both units in a very complex installation process needing specialty equipment for installation. The parts necessary were shipped to me and arrived four days after I called. The parts department personnel was extraordinary and most helpful in explaining what had happened to my 7 year old refrigerator. It appears that these 'energy efficient' appliances lack any of the longevity of the older refrigerators. I will be going through this again, it appears.

Do not buy Kenmore or LG
Any technician (including Sears) will tell you LG compressors are complete garbage. Sears customer service is the worst. They sell you the fridge just to make money on the parts after by charging crazy labor fees. My fridge lasted 2.5 years before the compressor gave out.

Apparently, LG Compressors notorious w/repairmen
I hired an experienced, professional Sears appliance repairman and his son to replace, and they still don't have it working! It was just a replacement for basically the same compressor that died on my Kenmore "Elite" fridge at about 9 years...another $400 out of my pocket. Now this one won't program! Why are these not computer-coded better for repairmen to install??? Need help!
