Good evening . I have my refrigerator ,it has worked for 10years but it started not cooling and I called the repairman and told me to buy a compressor.. We replaced the compressor and the refrigerator worked again for a month but now the compressor switches its for 10secondss and then goes off completely without coming on back and then starts heating up . Is that the compressor is faulty again. Coz its not cooling condenser fins clean , waterdrain clean , fans running. any one with any ideas

Your not-so-great outcome is why I'd never even consider replacing the compressor on a 10 year-old refrigerator.Â* Yes, a successful compressor transplant by a skilled tech is possible but considering the declining skills of the typical appliance repair
person, it's not a gamble I'm willing to take.

In my opinion, if the compressor pukes after the full 100% parts and labor warranty has expired and I have to start writing checks, it's time to head to McLowesDepot to buy a new frige.

It also depends on the cost of a replacement. If it's a $700 fridge,
I agree. If it's one that costs $2500 or more then it's another story.
But I do agree that a big problem is whether it's done right or not
and it seems there are more hacks doing shortcuts than ever.
