Because refrigeration systems, refrigerant type, mounting layouts and line sets vary significantly by model and production year, please check with your maintenance technician prior to ordering to ensure the part is correct for your appliance model and that the system has been properly evaluated.
Replacing the compressor kit is a major repair and should be done by a qualified technician with proper refrigerant handling and system evacuation tools.
Features & Benefits
-
OEM-specified for correct fit & performance: Designed by Frigidaire/Electrolux to meet the original build specifications for models calling for 5304475102. frigidaire.stage.repairclinic.com+1
-
Complete kit format: Many listings indicate the kit includes not just the compressor but also start/overload device, filter/drier and copper tubing – enabling a more comprehensive repair. partstown.com+1
-
Restores proper refrigeration cycle: A failing compressor can lead to warm compartments, non-cooling or cycles that never engage. Replacing with the correct kit helps restore normal cooling performance.
-
Long-term reliability: By selecting the correct OEM kit, you reduce risk of mismatched components or reduced lifespan – especially important for sealed-system parts.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed
-
The refrigerator or freezer compartment fails to maintain temperature despite compressor running.
-
The compressor hums or runs constantly but cooling doesn’t happen—the sealed system may have lost its ability to compress properly.
-
Frost or ice formation in unusual areas (e.g., freezer back panel) due to inadequate circulation or compression.
-
Visible issues like oil on the compressor, burnt start relay, or repeated start/stop cycles.
-
If the appliance has been diagnosed with compressor lock-up or internal failure (by a technician) and the only remedy is a complete compressor replacement.

Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm your model number, refrigerant type (R-134a or as specified), compressor mounting bracket and line size before ordering.
-
Because compressors are sealed-system components, if you’re replacing the compressor you should also replace the filter/drier, evacuate the system thoroughly, and properly recharge refrigerant. Failure to do so may reduce life of the new compressor.
-
If the compressor failed due to underlying issues (e.g., airflow problem at condenser, cooling fan failure, refrigerant leak), those must be addressed or the new compressor may fail prematurely.
-
Installation of this kit is not a simple user-replacement; it should be performed by a qualified technician with appropriate tools and certification to handle refrigerants.
-
After replacement, monitor operation for proper pressure, temperature and compressor cycling to ensure correct repair.
