W11233073 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Condenser

The W11233073 (W11233073) is a genuine part manufactured by Whirlpool for use in refrigerators. This part is a condenser, sometimes referred to as a heat exchanger, and is essential to the cooling process of your appliance. It is compatible with a variety of Whirlpool refrigerator models.

The condenser's function is to transfer heat from the refrigerant gas to the surrounding environment, causing the gas to condense into a liquid state. This process happens after the refrigerant has been compressed and heated by the compressor. The hot, high-pressure refrigerant flows into the condenser, which is designed with a network of coils or tubes to maximize surface area for efficient heat transfer. As the refrigerant cools down and condenses into a liquid state, it releases its heat to the surrounding air or water. The liquid refrigerant then proceeds through the expansion valve, where it evaporates, absorbing heat from the refrigerator's interior to maintain a cool temperature.

If your refrigerator is not cooling properly, it could be a sign that the condenser is failing. Other symptoms of a failing condenser may include the appliance running constantly or the back of the refrigerator feeling excessively hot.

Before purchasing the W11233073 condenser, ensure to verify the model number of your refrigerator for compatibility.
