Expert Review
If your Polar fridge's temperature is all over the place, or the display is flickering or completely dead, this Dixell thermostat is almost certainly the culprit. It’s a common failure point but thankfully a straightforward fix for any engineer. Swapping this out will have your unit back to holding the correct temperature in no time, protecting your valuable stock.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect mains power before starting any work.
- Photograph wiring before removing the old unit for reference.
- Ensure all probe and power connections are secure.
- Keep the unit's ventilation clean from dust and grease.
