How to Replace LG Compressor 

It Is Nice to See That Even The New Improved TC Universal LG Compressor is also Failing So You Can Assume That every 3-4 Years You have To Spend another $1000.00 To Replace The Replacement Junk Compressor! I Have a Kenmore ELITE LG with the Junk Compressor Lasted 3.5 years, But My Parents have a Frigidaire That Still Works Fine after 42 years! Don't Use Compressors like those anymore because they actually Kept Food Cold! Naa Put a TV and some LED Lights So You can see your Food Going Bad in Your 3.5 year old Refrigerator that Cost $4,500 and Like Paying Rent For it in Service Fees You can Spend another 5K Trying to keep your food Cold! I will never buy an other Product made by LG or Samsung! Marketing Trash and Cash Cows. I had Just Filled My LG KENMORE ELITE with $500.00 worth of Food 2 days Prior to my Linear Compressor Failure all Trash and my parts are being Shipped so Next Week I will Have My New Defective Replacement junk Compressor and Cold Food for at Least 90 days is the repair warrantee! So In 100 days I can Spend another 1000.00 to keep my food Cold For another 90 Days? WTF? Nothing Says LG on my Fridge other than the Compressor! If I wanted an LG I would have Purchased an LG, Like If I By a Cadillac Will it have a KIA Engine under the hood? Because this is Happening to Hundreds Of Thousands Of People on Every Defective LG Compressor Why Do We Need to pay a Dime to Fix This/ Its not A warrantee issue Its A Product defect! And I Got the EXTENDED $499.00 Warrantee so Because they Know It Lasts 3 years but not past 5 they only offer a 3 Year but not a 6 year. SCUM BAGS! Class action Lawsuits to LG and Kenmore and when You call LG they tell you that Kenmore is Responsible and to call them and then you call Kenmore and they tell you to call Sears and Sears says Call LG and then call Kenmore and all Day Long I can Tell You That I BOUGHT A KENMORE AND KENMORE IS RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS DISASTER! Let KENMORE file a lawsuit with LG and fight it out but instead You the Consumers get stuck with a $4500 Boat Anker, Your call is very important to Us and You are calling Customer Care Hot Line! The Only Thing Hot Is the Food In My Refrigerator that should have the needed function of keeping Food Cold! The 5 year Labor might be for LG but Kenmore is only 1 or 3 if you buy the Extended In-Home-Master Protection Plan. ITS AN LG PROBLEM SO LG SHOULD EAT THE REPAIR COSTS! All I know Is 3.5 years on an almost 5 thousand dollar Product is Criminal. I Don't Care If The Front Of my Unit Says its a Kungfool Refrigerator The Compressor Should Be made By Kungfool, I bought the Kenmore to replace a Pile Of Junk Samsung that lasted all of 4 years With All Kinds of Problems But It kept my Food Cold and Compressor was Fine but Iced Up Freezer and Icemaker problems Just to Upgrade to This Fancy Trash. TOP-OF-THE-LINE KENMORE ELITE LG= LIFE IS GOOD! NO! LIFE SUCKS IF YOU PURCHASE SOMETHING MADE BY LG! $500 in Spoiled Food in your 5 thousand dollar Refrigerator! Life Is Good for The LG Company in Service Fees, Kenmore LG Garbage. Toyota Has Bad Frames in Pickup Trucks and Replace them FREE of Charge! Subaru has Excessive Oil Consumption Recall and Replace your Engine FREE of Charge. Kenmore / LG Has bad Linear Compressors and Its All Of them! What will They Do For You The Customer? Charge You as much as 1,500.00 to Fix There Issues.

Great video! Thanks

You are all wrong man. At minute 1:39, the suction side gauge shows about 5.5 psi. With R134 that is about a - 2F evap temp. Any T&P (temp & pressures) chart will show you that. I think you mentioned the unit was a little cold. And now everybody who has watch this, plans to change their compressor. Sui Seidel agrees with me. Four weeks ago you found this : " Pressure on the low side was at 50s and freezer was completely warm." That's a bad comp.

I was just quoted $700 to replace my lg compressor. Screw that I'm just gonna order a new fridge

First let me preface this by stating I've done hundreds of these LG comps. 1st, You should have pulled the cover for the main board and seen if it has the LED blinking for a comp error. 2nd, That pressure did not indicate a bad comp, you should have looked at the high side to get a better idea. I bet you have a leak in the evap and it sucked in some air, its probably what killed the first comp as you already have the upgraded 1 on it. You should check it for a leak. I didn't see you pull a vacuum or even do a sweep charge. And for the love of god, don't pull a fridge out on a hardwood floor without a protective pad to prevent floor damage!

Just an observation, but looked like that thing didn't have enough gas in it to cool. Generally there would be several PSI when manifold is connected to a fully charged system.

To all you Refrigerator repairers -- can I solder copper joints (and copper to stainless) just using a propane torch? I see you guys all using acety/oxygen and acety/air. Is acety required or will it just take me longer with using propane torch? thx

Where did you get the Vaccum pump.or the compressor vacuum pump

Any one please tell me details of Flux and filler metal?

You removed the rubbers from the pipes ahead of time, allowing the atmosphere to enter the compressor, I didn't understand why, you don't have a vacuum pump and you fool yourself into thinking that you are vacuuming with that compressor, you didn't sweep the system. I thought I would learn something from your video, but I didn't.

non dye drier and not pulling vacuum or even pressure testing? also not blowing system out or opening 3 way valve... holy moly delete this asap
