TCA36491304 - LG Refrigerator Compressor

The LG Refrigerator Compressor (TCA36491304) is a genuine part manufactured by LG for their refrigeration appliances. This part is compatible with a variety of LG refrigerators and is sometimes referred to as the 'heart' of your appliance's cooling system.

The compressor's primary function is to maintain the desired temperature within your refrigerator. It achieves this by compressing low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant vapor from the evaporator coil into high-pressure, high-temperature vapor. This compressed vapor then releases heat to the surrounding environment via the condenser coil and condenses into a high-pressure liquid. This liquid then passes through an expansion valve or capillary tube, becoming a low-pressure liquid that evaporates at a lower temperature in the evaporator. This evaporation process absorbs heat from the interior of your refrigerator, effectively cooling it down.

If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, it may be a symptom of a failing compressor. Other signs that this part may need to be replaced include the refrigerator running constantly or the compressor making loud noises.

Before purchasing the LG Refrigerator Compressor (TCA36491304), please verify that it is compatible with your specific refrigerator model.
