One of the most crucial kitchen appliances is a refrigerator. Luckily, we don’t need to go to the market to get everything fresh anymore, compared to when cold storage was non-existent. Now, we enjoy the advantages of having a fridge in our homes: no store queues and more food on hand when we want to cook something for the whole family or have a snack. Sure, when the refrigerator isn’t working properly, food spoils and drinks are not cool enough.
The main goal of a refrigerator’s operation is to keep food cool. If it does not, you’ve got a serious problem. Rather than poke around aimlessly, contact us today and have our refrigerator technicians check it for you. The most common issue your fridge can experience is a fault with the compressor. This is the best issue to leave to an expert.
We provide same-day refrigerator services for all brands and models. Spark Service Pro is an authorized service centre for LG refrigerators, Fisher & Paykel, True Refrigeration, Panasonic, Fhiaba, and many more brands. If you are unsure that the refrigerator compressor is worth replacing, call us to check the price for your specific refrigerator.
Compressor Problems and Importance of Refrigerator Compressor Replacement
Considering our experience and the number of replacements we performed, one of the most common problems with the fridge is a malfunctioning or faulty compressor. Without a working compressor, any refrigerator will not stay cold. The refrigerator compressor is a pump that uses pistons to compress the refrigerant. This means that the gas chills inside the refrigerator. When this pump stops working, the refrigerant does, too. Depending on the reason for the problem, repairing a compressor can be relatively inexpensive or not cost-effective.
Every year, householders in the Great Toronto Area pay large amounts for fridge repairs. In most cases, people assume that a repair will cost the same amount as a new appliance and opt to replace it to keep things simple. We understand this could be a big expense, so if you need help, we’re here to help. Contact our team of refrigerator technicians to find out whether it is worth it. In our experience, if the price of the compressor replacement is no more than 60-70% of the price of the fridge, do not hesitate to repair your appliance.
Having replaced more than several hundred refrigerator compressors, we may admit some important issues with them:
- Problem with the start relay: The start relay is an electronic device that tells the compressor when to start.
- Compressor insufficient: Some refrigerators may have insufficient compressors to provide the cooling power they need due to poor design, age, or other problems. Compressors with insufficient power run continuously but provide little to no cooling.
- Faulty compressor: This means that the compressor may fail completely. In this case, the refrigerator itself does not run. Repairing the compressor is difficult and not usually cost-effective. The best solution is to replace the refrigerator compressor.
These issues influence the complexity of the repair and price, but do not forget about the brand and model. The prices start from $599 Canadian dollars, which include materials, the utilization of an old compressor, and labour but exclude the price of the compressor. Our highly qualified technicians service all brands and can provide LG compressor replacement, Fisher & Paykel compressor replacement, and others. You will also receive a warranty for the compressor replacement from the manufacturer.
Two Approaches to Compressor Replacement
With more than 18 years of experience in refrigerator repair and replacing hundreds of fridge compressors, our experts may define two main replacement methods. Within the framework of this article, we decided to share it with our customers. We hope this information will be useful and help you decide whether it is worth replacing. Be sure that professional assistance is very important.
Lokring method of Replacing R600a or R134a Compressor. These compressors can be replaced without brazing. The lokring single-ring technology connects metallic refrigerant lines without brazing so that they are permanent and hermetically sealed. These lokring tube connections were customized for any application based on the tube materials, dimensions and tolerances and the associated assembly tools.
The primary application area is manufacturing the refrigerant circuit for a series of refrigerators and freezers. The main advantages of using the LOKRING tube joining technique are that it is better, time-saving, cost-effective, and possible to use different material combinations.
The brazing method requires practical technical skills and can be a challenge even for experts. If you want to replace your LG, Panasonic, Kenmore refrigerator compressor or others, be sure you are prepared and knowledgeable. For this method, you may need the following equipment for the replacement: a new compressor (be sure that you have the same model or at least a manufacturer-approved replacement), refrigerant (R600a or R134a), 2-valve manifold refrigeration pressure gauge, vacuum pump, refrigerant scale, brazing equipment, solder rods, flux.
To replace a compressor and recharge a system, you should understand how the sealed system actually works. You need to follow a procedure, pay attention to details, know how to use special equipment like scales and gauges, and acquire some degree of proficiency with brazing copper. Thus, contact the trained technicians at our company to replace a fridge compressor.
Same-Day Compressor Replacement Service
We understand that no one likes to receive a long bill at the end of a repair, so we keep it simple. We are proud of our fair and transparent pricing system. Our diagnostic checks and repairs are carried out at a fixed rate. This means you won’t face a surprising extra cost once the work is completed. We value our customers and believe great service doesn’t have to come at a great cost.
We want to admit that being an authorized refrigerator repair company, you receive up to 10 years of warranty on compressor replacement from the manufacturer, and in this case, you pay only for labour. But if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us and schedule a visit of our technician to your place.
