If your fridge motor is constantly humming but the temperature just won't drop, chances are the compressor has given up. This AK706 is the exact part you'll need for the Polar UA003 and UA007 models. It’s the heart of the machine, so getting it swapped out is vital. It's not a DIY job – you'll need a qualified engineer, but it's a straightforward replacement that will bring your unit back to life.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always use a certified refrigeration engineer for installation.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit post-installation.
- Regularly clean condenser coils to prevent overheating.
- Allow refrigerant to settle before powering on the unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my compressor needs replacing?
A: Common signs include the fridge not cooling, the unit running constantly, or unusual humming or clicking noises from the motor area.
Q: Can I install this part myself?
A: No. Due to the high pressures and refrigerant involved, compressor replacement must be carried out by a qualified and F-Gas certified engineer.
Q: Is this compressor compatible with any other brands?
A: This part is specified as a genuine replacement for Polar models UA003 and UA007 only. Using it on other models is not recommended.
Q: What does R290 mean?
A: R290 (Propane) is a natural, energy-efficient refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an environmentally friendly choice.
