Expert Review
If your display freezer is humming away but not getting cold, or if you're hearing loud clunking noises from the back, your compressor has likely given up the ghost. This genuine Polar R290-FN90M is the exact part you'll need. It's not a DIY job – you'll need an F-Gas engineer – but it's a straightforward swap for them that will get your unit back to work reliably.
Installation & Maintenance
- Must be installed by a qualified F-Gas engineer.
- Ensure correct refrigerant charge as per manufacturer's plate.
- Keep condenser coils clean for optimal efficiency.
- Verify correct electrical connections and overload protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I fit this compressor myself?
A: No. Due to the high-pressure R290 refrigerant, this part must be installed by a qualified and F-Gas certified refrigeration engineer to ensure safety and correct operation.
Q: Is this compressor compatible with models other than PG001 and PG002?
A: This part is specified only for the Polar PG001 and PG002 display freezers. Using it in other models is not recommended and may void the warranty.
Q: What are the signs of a failing compressor?
A: Common symptoms include the freezer not cooling, the unit running constantly, or unusual buzzing, clicking, or grinding noises coming from the motor area.

- R290 is a hydrocarbon refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
