Compressor part #W10160407, is this a difficult thing to replace? I am mechanically experienced, just not with refrig. Any special tools required?

What is r134a? Refrigerant material? If so, only tech can do this, not a do it yourself kind of thing?

Compressors are not DIY projects. You need to be certified with a refrigeration license. Proper recovery equipment is needed. Special gauges and tools are required. Call a pro, you'll save time and money and a lot of frustration.

Replacing a compressor will be expensive.
Often it makes more sense to replace the unit.

Are you sure that it is the compressor that is shot?

Also check your warranty, it should say in your owners manual. Some sealed system jobs are covered partially for up to ten years. Never hurts to check.
