Additional Information
This Bosch-manufactured compressor is a core component of the refrigerator's cooling system, crucial for maintaining the appliance's effective operation. Compressors work by increasing the pressure of the refrigerant to create the cooling cycle necessary for the refrigeration process. If your refrigerator isn't cooling, it could be due to a failed compressor.
Because replacing the compressor involves recovering and recharging refrigerant in the sealed refrigerant system, we highly recommended a professional technician install the compressor.
