Common questions about Tecumseh OEM replacement parts
The AE series covers low to medium back pressure applications with lower evaporating temperatures, commonly used in medium-temperature refrigeration (coolers, display cases). The RK series is designed for higher back pressure, medium-temperature applications. Selection depends on your application's suction pressure, condensing temperature, and refrigerant type.
Yes. We stock Tecumseh condensing unit assemblies for walk-in cooler and freezer applications. These factory-assembled units include the Tecumseh compressor, condenser coil, condenser fan motor, and starting components in a ready-to-install package.
Yes, in many cases Tecumseh and Copeland compressors can be cross-referenced by refrigerant type, tonnage, voltage, and application (low/medium/high back pressure). Our parts team can assist with cross-referencing when an exact Tecumseh replacement is unavailable.
Tecumseh compressors for R-22 use mineral oil (HP31). R-134a and R-404A applications require polyolester oil (HP62 or equivalent). R-410A Tecumseh compressors also require POE oil. Always confirm the oil type from the compressor nameplate or Tecumseh's published specification sheet.
