I don’t know if anyone’s got an up to date cross reference list for R600 compressors. I’ve just been trying to find one for a Liebherr fridge/freezer number HVY57AA. All I can find is an Electrolux pdf file with it listed but no part number and Liebherr are about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.
Has anyone got a part number either lux or w/pool or anyone else I can use to order with ?
Thanks.
Dave.
Re: Compressor cross-reference
I fit standard whirlpool compressors to all appliances 1/8 481936038705
1/6 481936038704 1/5 481936038675 1/4 481936038637 all these are R600a refrigerants that can be retro fitted to all R134a and R12 units,The simplest way to work out how much R600a refrigerant to equal the old refrigerant is to half the amount of refrigerant I.E. old unit has 130g of R134a it’ll need 65g of R600a.ive retro fitted for the past 7 yrs and havent had a problem.

Re: Compressor cross-reference
I think the problem Dave has is the age old one of compressors being identified by there horsepower and yet this is never actaully indicated on the compressor itself.
I think we would need to know the make and type of compressor already fitted to identify a replacement. Beware of some of the Korean compresors around right now as sometimes they are so tall they dont actually fit in the space provided despite them being listed as an alternative.Re: Compressor cross-reference
Yes, that is the problem. The compressor is an R600a unit with no identification on it other than the type number. It is the fridge compressor from a twin pot fridge/freezer, the fridge capacity is 266 litre so I would assume a 1/5hp pot should do the trick.
Would any refigeration experts like to verify this please 😀

Re: Compressor cross-reference
If this fridge on its own is the same size as a under counter tpye then a 1/6 r600a will do if its the larger one then its a 1/5 r600a,most 5′ fridge freezers running on a single compressor are fitted with a 1/5 and small chest freezers and under counter fridgesi.e. norfrost C4’s are on a 1/6 compressor.larger fridges and freezers are run on 1/5 but rarley are 1/4 fitted any longer on majority of appliance,I have found that fitting 1/4 r600a into the maytag / admiral american range the appliances run very happily and a lot quieter ( even though maytag/admiral would have a hairy fit as its not what the americans want as they spent billions producing and formulating R134a).

Dave,
I have come across a Leibherr Service Bulletin that might help you. I will send it as an attachment to an email as it is in pdf format and quite large.

Maybe I could put it in the downloads section of the site as well, or will it be a copyright problem ?

Re: Compressor cross-reference
Dave,
You could remove the first page. The rest should be OK. If you cannot delete the page from the file let me know and I can resend it to you without this page.
