W10473567 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor

The Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor (W10473567) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool for their refrigerators. This part is sometimes referred to as the heart of your refrigerator's cooling system. It works based on the principles of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, playing a central role in maintaining the desired temperature within your appliance.

The compressor functions as a pump, compressing low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant vapor into high-pressure, high-temperature vapor. This compressed vapor then moves to the condenser coil, where it releases heat and condenses into a high-pressure liquid. The liquid then passes through an expansion valve or capillary tube, becoming a low-pressure liquid. Upon entering the evaporator, it evaporates at a lower temperature, absorbing heat from your refrigerator's interior and thus cooling it down. The resulting low-pressure vapor is drawn back into the compressor, and the cycle repeats.

If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, making unusual noises, or the compressor is hot to touch, it might indicate that this part is failing. In such cases, replacing the Whirlpool Refrigerator Compressor (W10473567) could potentially rectify these issues.

Before purchasing, please verify the compatibility of this part with your refrigerator's model number.
