W10309988 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor (W10309988) is a genuine part, specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part is sometimes referred to as the 'heart' of your appliance's cooling system, playing a pivotal role in maintaining the desired temperature within the unit.

Manufactured by Whirlpool, this compressor is compatible with a range of their refrigerator models. It operates based on the principles of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, compressing 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 and condenses into a high-pressure liquid. This liquid passes through an expansion valve or capillary tube, becoming a low-pressure liquid that evaporates at a lower temperature, absorbing heat from the refrigerator's interior and cooling it down.

If your refrigerator is not maintaining the correct temperature, making unusual noises, or the compressor is hot to the touch, these may be signs that your compressor needs replacement. It's essential to note that the compressor's specific location and function may vary based on the model number of your refrigerator.

Before purchasing, it's advised to verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility with the Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor (W10309988).
