LG Compressor LRA 46, R410A, 1PH LRA 46 24000BTU
ر.س410.00 Inclusive of VAT
This LG AC compressor rated 24000 BTU (equivalent to 2 tons of cooling) is the heart of the system, compressing refrigerant and driving it through the entire cooling cycle. When an air conditioner compressor fails, cooling weakens or stops completely, however sound the rest of the unit is.
It is built for R410A refrigerant and runs on single phase, 60 Hz, 208 to 230 V, with a starting current of LRA 46 and built-in thermal protection. Made in Thailand.

What Does LRA 46 Mean?
LRA stands for Locked Rotor Amps, the starting current: what the compressor draws in the first instant before it begins turning.
Why does this figure matter to you?
- The circuit breaker must tolerate this surge without tripping. An undersized breaker trips on every start, and the owner concludes the compressor has failed.
- The capacitor is what helps the compressor start. A weak capacitor with a 46 amp starting current means a compressor that hums and does not turn.
- Compare the figure with your old compressor. A similar LRA value is a strong indicator of similar electrical specification.

How to Extend Compressor Life
- Clean the outdoor coil every three months and after every dust storm. A dirty coil raises discharge pressure and compressor temperature.
- Replace the capacitor at the first sign of weakness, since it protects the compressor on every start.
- Do not cycle the unit on and off rapidly. Wait at least three minutes between switching off and restarting.
- Fit a voltage stabiliser if your local supply is unstable.
- Shade the outdoor unit without restricting airflow around it.
- Check the refrigerant charge annually, since a low charge raises compressor temperature.
Why Buy Your AC Compressor From Cool.sa
- Cool.sa, In stock now at SAR 410, while 24000 BTU compressors elsewhere in the market sell for more and are frequently out of stock.
- Full specification published: brand, refrigerant, phase, frequency, voltage and starting current. Not a generic description.
- 60 Hz, matching the Saudi grid.
- Compatibility confirmed before you order. Send a photo of the outdoor unit’s nameplate and we match the refrigerant and electrical specification.
- VAT invoicing for corporate and contractor procurement.
- Bulk pricing for maintenance companies, contractors and facilities management
- Capacitors, refrigerant and copper from the same supplier, so the complete replacement comes in one order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the price of a 24000 BTU split AC compressor?
This compressor is SAR 410 including VAT, and it is in stock.
Q2. Does it fit any 24000 BTU split unit?
Not necessarily. The refrigerant (R410A) and electrical specification (single phase, 60 Hz, 208 to 230 V) must match. Send us a photo of the outdoor unit’s nameplate and we will confirm.
Q3. Can an R410A compressor be fitted to an R22 unit?
No. The refrigerants differ in operating pressure and oil type, and interchanging them damages the compressor and the circuit.
Q4. What does LRA 46 mean?
It is the starting current, what the compressor draws at the moment of start. It determines the correct breaker size and why a healthy capacitor matters.
Q5. The compressor hums but does not turn, has it failed?
Usually not. Check the capacitor first, as it is the most common cause of this symptom and costs a fraction of the compressor.
Q6. Do you stock other AC spare parts besides compressors?
Yes. We stock a wide range of AC spare parts including capacitors, fan motors, remotes and thermostats for different brands. If the part you need is not listed, contact us on WhatsApp and we will source it for you.
