Which electrical issue can specifically lead to compressor failure?

Compressor failure can often be traced back to electrical issues, and faulty wiring or bad connections is a significant contributor. This occurs because compressors rely on stable and consistent electrical supply to function properly. If the wiring is damaged, loose, or corroded, it can interrupt the flow of electricity to the compressor. This may lead to insufficient power reaching the motor, causing it to overheat, struggle to start, or operate poorly, ultimately resulting in failure.

In contrast, improper refrigerant charge affects the cooling efficiency but not necessarily the electrical components directly. A faulty expansion valve primarily impacts the refrigerant flow and system pressure, also not directly linked to electrical supply stability. High ambient temperature can stress the entire system but does not specifically relate to the reliability of the electrical components that power the compressor. Therefore, identifying and addressing faulty wiring or bad connections is crucial in preventing compressor failure.
