Expert Review

Expert Review
If your upright fridge is humming away but just not getting cold, or if the motor has gone completely quiet, the compressor is a likely culprit. This Polar AS037 is the exact part you'll need for the UA030 and UA040 models. It's the heart of the machine, so while it's a straightforward swap for an engineer, remember this isn't a DIY job—always call in a certified F-Gas professional to handle the refrigerant safely.
Installation & Maintenance
- Professional installation by an F-Gas engineer is mandatory.
- Ensure clear ventilation around the unit after fitting.
- Keep condenser coils clean for optimal efficiency.
- Always check for system leaks post-installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I fit this compressor myself?
A: No. Due to the F-Gas regulations covering refrigerants, compressor replacement must be done by a qualified refrigeration engineer.
Q: Is this compressor compatible with other Polar models?
A: This part is specifically for the Polar UA030 and UA040 upright fridges. Check your unit's manual for compatibility.
Q: What are the signs of a failing compressor?
A: Common signs include the fridge not cooling, the unit running constantly, or a loud buzzing or clicking noise from the back of the appliance.
