COMPRESSOR

For service buyers searching by part number, 18-8813-23 corresponds to the compressor. In service work, this part is selected when troubleshooting points to component failure rather than a wiring, control setting, or maintenance issue. Confirm the equipment brand and the original part reference on the unit before installing a replacement. Model verification is important because close machine variants may use different revisions of the same component category. Restores refrigeration compression when the system is not cooling, runs hot, or cannot maintain ice production. Depending on the machine setup, failures in this part category can show up as warm cabinet, not cooling, and low ice production. Compressor failures often show up as persistent cooling loss, high operating temperature, or inability to maintain normal ice production. For this compressor category, the typical repair goal is to restore the function that the failed component was affecting. A good service approach is to verify the exact part number and inspect the surrounding assembly before replacing the component. Compressor troubleshooting usually involves electrical checks, resistance testing, start components, amp draw evaluation, and system condition review before replacement. Verifying the complaint under operating conditions before and after replacement is a practical way to confirm the issue is resolved. Replacing a failed component with the correct part number helps restore normal operation, reduces repeat callbacks, and supports more reliable troubleshooting outcomes. Documenting voltage, resistance, temperature, or flow readings during diagnosis also helps validate the repair after installation. To avoid ordering delays, confirm the exact part number and compare mounting style, connector style, and application details before installation. Complaints such as not turning on, no power, not cooling, not starting, intermittent operation, error code messages, or ice not dropping can overlap across several parts, so a confirmed diagnosis will help this replacement solve the actual problem faster.
