Samsung mkv190cl2b/sm1 Refrigerator Compressor R-134a

Product Description

The SAMSUNG mkv190cl2b/sm1 is a sealed-system refrigerator compressor designed for R-134a refrigerant service. Compressors of this type are the core of the refrigeration cycle, drawing in low-pressure refrigerant vapor, compressing it, and discharging it to the condenser. This unit is a direct sealed-system component, meaning it is hermetically sealed at the factory and is not field-serviceable internally. Replacement is performed by licensed refrigeration or appliance technicians with EPA Section 608 certification, as R-134a handling requires certified recovery equipment and procedures.

This compressor is intended for residential refrigerator applications using R-134a refrigerant. It is a Samsung OEM part, making it appropriate for sealed-system repairs on Samsung refrigerator units where the original compressor has failed due to electrical winding faults, mechanical seizure, or loss of compression capacity. Installation is performed as part of a sealed-system repair, which typically includes evacuation, leak testing, and recharge of the refrigerant circuit.

Key Features

• Hermetically sealed compressor designed for R-134a refrigerant systems
• OEM Samsung replacement part for refrigerator sealed-system repairs
• Factory-sealed construction — no internal field service required
• Intended for licensed technicians with EPA Section 608 certification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sealed-system replacement compressor for Samsung residential refrigerators. Verify the original compressor part number against your unit's service label before ordering, as refrigerator compressor fitment is model-specific.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a technician holding EPA Section 608 certification, as this repair involves recovery, evacuation, and recharge of a refrigerant circuit. Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any sealed-system work. Proper evacuation to the required micron level and leak testing after recharge are required steps before returning the unit to service. Do not vent refrigerant to atmosphere — use certified recovery equipment at all times.
