207213 Genuine Inverter Compressor 230V VCC for Fisher & Paykel Fridges, Variable Capacity Fridge Freezer Compressor

Part 207213 is a genuine Fisher & Paykel inverter compressor rated at 230V. VCC stands for variable capacity compressor, a design that changes its running speed to match how much cooling the fridge needs instead of switching hard on and off. We don't have the fridge models for this compressor on file, so match 207213 against your parts list or the old compressor's details, or send us the model and serial number before ordering.

Signs a Fisher & Paykel fridge compressor has failed

The compressor is the pump at the heart of the sealed refrigeration system. It squeezes refrigerant gas and pushes it through the condenser so heat can be shed outside the cabinet. An inverter model is paired with its own drive electronics, which set the speed. When the compressor or its drive fails, the fridge and freezer both warm up, the lights and fans may still run, and the compressor may click, hum briefly or stay silent. Those symptoms can also come from a faulty inverter board or a gas leak, so a proper diagnosis comes first.

Who should fit a fridge compressor

Replacing a compressor means opening the sealed refrigerant system, so in Australia it must be done by a technician holding a refrigerant handling licence. The job involves recovering the old gas, brazing, fitting a new filter drier, evacuating and recharging. Have the drive electronics and fan motors tested first so the new compressor isn't fitted to a fridge with another fault. Isolate power at the wall before any work starts.

Questions about this part

Can I replace the compressor myself?

No. Fitting 207213 means cutting into the sealed system and handling refrigerant, which Australian law restricts to licensed refrigeration technicians. A technician can also confirm whether the fault is the compressor or the inverter controller before the part goes in.
