A compressor may include first and second scrolls, and a shutdown assembly. The first and second scrolls have first and second spiral wraps, respectively. The second scroll includes a discharge passage that receives compressed working fluid from a pocket defined by the first and second spiral wraps. The shutdown assembly may include a valve housing and a valve member. The valve housing may include a first aperture that receives working fluid from the discharge passage. The valve member may include a valve stem and a valve head. The valve stem may be movably received in a second aperture of the valve housing and has a smaller diameter than a diameter of the valve head. The valve member may be movable between a closed position in which the valve head restricts flow through the discharge passage and an open position in which the valve head allows flow through the discharge passage.

A compressor may include a shell assembly, orbiting and non-orbiting scrolls, a bearing housing, a bushing, a damper, and a fastener. The bearing housing includes a first aperture. The bushing may include an axial end abutting the bearing housing. The bushing may extend through a second aperture of the non-orbiting scroll. The bushing may include a third aperture. The damper may be received in a pocket that may be defined by and disposed radially between an outer diametrical surface of the bushing and an inner diametrical surface of the non-orbiting scroll. The damper may be at least partially disposed within the second aperture and may encircle the second portion of the bushing. The fastener may include a shaft portion and a flange portion. The shaft portion may extend through the third aperture and into the first aperture. The flange portion may contact a first axial end of the damper.
