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.
