242106605 - Electrolux Refrigerator Condenser

This Refrigerator Condenser (242106605) is a genuine part for Electrolux home appliances and is compatible with Frigidaire as well. The condenser, also known as a condenser coil, plays a pivotal role in the refrigeration process by transferring heat from the refrigerant gas to the surrounding environment, leading to the gas's condensation into a liquid state. This process is critical post the refrigerant's journey through the compressor, where it gets compressed and heated. The hot, high-pressure refrigerant then travels into the condenser, consisting of coils or tubes designed to maximize surface area for efficient heat transfer. As refrigerant passes through, it releases its heat, causing it to cool down and condense. The liquid refrigerant proceeds through the expansion valve for further cooling cycle stages, absorbing heat from your appliance's interior to maintain chilly temperatures. Symptoms indicating that this part may need replacement include insufficient cooling in your refrigerator or a noticeable increase in your appliance's operation temperature. Before purchasing, double-check your device's model number to confirm this part’s compatibility.
