5416A90008Q Genuine Compressor for LG Air Conditioners, LG Air Con Refrigeration Compressor, Licensed Technician Fit

5416A90008Q is a genuine LG compressor, which we list for LG air conditioners. The compressor is the pump at the centre of the refrigeration system, squeezing refrigerant gas so the unit can move heat from one place to another. We don't have a model list for it, so check the label on your old compressor and the outdoor unit's model before ordering. Fitting needs a licensed refrigeration technician.

Air con running but not cooling or heating?

The compressor raises the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant so heat can be released in one coil and picked up in the other. When it fails, the fans may run but the air stays at room temperature, the outdoor unit may hum and trip the breaker, or the system may show a compressor or high pressure fault. Before condemning the compressor, a technician should rule out low refrigerant, a failed capacitor, a faulty inverter board or wiring problems, since these cost less and can look the same.

Who can fit an air con compressor

Compressor replacement isn't a DIY job. In Australia, anyone opening the refrigerant circuit must hold a refrigerant handling licence, and the electrical side needs a licensed electrician or a suitably licensed technician. The job involves isolating power, recovering the refrigerant, brazing in the new compressor, replacing the filter drier, then pressure testing, evacuating and recharging the system.
