TCA35692204 - LG Refrigerator Compressor

The TCA35692204 (TCA35692204) is a genuine part manufactured by LG. This appliance part is a refrigerator compressor, specifically designed for use with LG refrigerators. Sometimes referred to as the 'heart' of the refrigerator, the compressor plays a crucial role in the cooling system of your appliance.

The compressor operates by compressing the low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant vapor from the evaporator coil into high-pressure, high-temperature vapor. This vapor then moves to the condenser coil, where it releases heat to the environment and condenses into a high-pressure liquid. This liquid passes through an expansion valve, becoming a low-pressure liquid that evaporates at a lower temperature in the evaporator. This process absorbs heat from within the refrigerator, thus cooling it.

Symptoms of a failing or broken compressor may include your refrigerator not cooling properly, the compressor not running, or the refrigerator making unusual noises. If you notice these signs, it might be time to consider replacing your compressor.

Before purchasing, it is advised to verify the model number of your LG refrigerator to ensure compatibility with the TCA35692204 compressor.
