Replace the compressor, keep the refrigerator. Before you buy new, find out if yours is worth saving: same-day diagnosis when you call before 2 PM, the flat $75 diagnostic applied toward the repair, a written quote first, and a parts and labor warranty on the job.
A dead compressor does not mean a dead refrigerator. The cabinet, doors, gaskets, shelves and ice maker around it usually keep working, so replace the part and keep the refrigerator. If a new compressor is not worth it, we say so before any part is ordered.
The insulated cabinet, doors, gaskets, shelves, drawers and ice maker usually survive a compressor failure. When they are sound, a new compressor puts the whole refrigerator back to work instead of sending good parts to the curb.
Your refrigerator already fits its opening, water line and, on built-ins, the panels and cabinetry. A new compressor keeps it that way: no appliance shopping, no new hookup, no haul-away and, on a built-in, no cabinetry rework.
On a Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador, Miele or True Residential built-in, the cabinet and doors are built for a long service life. For most built-ins, a new compressor keeps that investment working instead of starting over.
On many LG and Samsung models, the manufacturer covers the compressor part longer than the basic warranty, though in the later years labor is usually not included. We help you check your model and serial number before anything is ordered.
Call 786-869-3888 before 2 PM for same-day diagnosis, $75 applied toward the repair.
What you get with a compressor replacement from Voltage Appliance Repair in Broward and Miami-Dade: a clear answer on what failed, a written quote before any work, and a parts and labor warranty.
The compressor is part of the sealed system, so this is refrigeration work, not a parts swap. We order the compressor to match your model and schedule the replacement once it arrives.
Temporary access valves go on and the charge comes out. HFC refrigerant is recovered, never vented, as EPA Section 608 requires. Isobutane is released outdoors away from ignition sources, per manufacturer service practice, and nitrogen purges the flammable vapor. Old parts are then cut out with a tube cutter, not a torch, for safety.
Isobutane and HFC compressors are not interchangeable, so yours matches the model and refrigerant. A new filter-drier always goes in to guard the compressor against moisture. After a burnout, we acid-test the oil and clean the system. Brazing under flowing nitrogen keeps oxide scale from building up to plug the capillary tube.
We pressurize with dry nitrogen, check every new joint for leaks and watch that the pressure holds. Then we evacuate from both the high and low sides, since the capillary tube slows flow between them, to a deep vacuum that holds on a micron gauge. Air and moisture left inside shorten a compressor's life.
A refrigerator's small, exact charge is weighed in per the data plate, not set by gauge. The process tubes are sealed, on isobutane with a mechanical fitting, never a torch. Then we leak-check the seals and confirm it runs as designed: line temperatures, frost pattern, and amp draw or variable-speed operating data.
Check manufacturer coverage before you pay for a compressor. Many LG and Samsung refrigerators carry coverage in stages: a basic warranty, a sealed-system period, then a longer warranty on the compressor part alone, usually without labor or refrigerant. Terms vary by model and purchase date. Have your model and serial number ready, often inside the fresh food section, and we help you check before any part is ordered. If a covered claim must go through the manufacturer's own service, we tell you, and you still know what failed.
