If your Polar fridge is humming away but not getting cold, or if it's just given up the ghost completely, the compressor is often the culprit. This AS985 is the exact heart transplant your UA050 fridge needs. It's not a DIY job, mind you; you'll need an F-Gas certified engineer for the swap. However, it's a straightforward fix for a pro and will bring your unit back to life.

- Installation must be performed by a qualified engineer.
- Always disconnect the unit from mains power before work.
- Ensure the unit has adequate ventilation after installation.
- Old compressor and refrigerant must be disposed of correctly.
