A compressor may include a compressor shell, a motor, a compression mechanism, and an assembly that houses an electronic component. The electronic component may control operation of the compressor and/or diagnose compressor faults. The assembly may include a shell, an electronic component, a fan, and an airflow deflector. The shell member may define an enclosure having an internal cavity. The fan and the electronic component may be disposed within the internal cavity. The airflow deflector may include a base portion, a first leg, and a second leg. The first and second legs may be spaced apart from each other and extend from the base portion. The fan may force air against the base portion. A first portion of the air may flow from the base portion along the first leg. A second portion of the air may flow from the base portion along the second leg.
