081487-27 Tecumseh Compressor Kit for Single-Phase Taylor Soft Serve Machines
Single-phase machines only. Taylor identifies single-phase models with a -27 suffix at the end of the model number (e.g., 794-27, C712-27). If your machine ends in -33, you have a 3-phase machine and need a different compressor. Not sure? Check the data plate on your machine or contact us before ordering.
Cross-Reference: 081487-27 / 052396-27
Part number 081487-27 is a direct cross-reference to 052396-27. These are the same Tecumseh compressor listed under two different part numbers in Taylor's parts documentation. Whether your service manual, parts list, or distributor quote shows 081487-27 or 052396-27, you are ordering the same unit.

Direct OEM Replacement — Built by Tecumseh
This is not a generic aftermarket substitute.

It runs quieter and more efficiently than standard refrigeration compressors, delivering the same performance and reliability as the original factory-installed unit.
Save Over $1,000 vs. Authorized Dealer Pricing
Authorized Taylor service estimates for a compressor replacement routinely exceed $3,000 including labor. Purchasing this kit directly puts the savings back in your pocket — and you don't need a Taylor-certified technician to do the job. Any competent HVAC technician can handle this replacement, and we provide full installation support. Our customers regularly complete this repair for less than half of what they were originally quoted by their local Taylor distributor.
Confirm Your Machine is Single-Phase Before Ordering
Check the model number on your machine's data plate. A -27 at the end confirms single-phase. Examples: 794-27, C712-27, 8757-27. If you see -33, visit our 3-phase compressor listings instead.
