WR87X20798 - GE Refrigerator Compressor

The WR87X20798 (WR87X20798) is a genuine part manufactured by GE for refrigerators. This part is a compressor, sometimes referred to as the heart of the cooling system. The compressor is compatible with various GE refrigerator models.

The compressor's primary function is to maintain the desired temperature within your refrigerator. It does this by compressing low-pressure, low-temperature vapor from the evaporator coil into high-pressure, high-temperature vapor. This vapor then moves to the condenser coil, where it releases heat to the environment 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 in the evaporator. This evaporation process absorbs heat from the refrigerator's interior, cooling it down.

If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, or if it's running constantly, it may indicate a failing compressor. In such cases, replacing the compressor might be necessary.

Before purchasing the WR87X20798 compressor, please verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility.
