Expert Review

Expert Review
If your fridge's internal light is staying on with the door shut, or the fan keeps running when you open it, this little switch is almost always the culprit. It's a common wear-and-tear item but thankfully, it's a doddle to replace. Just a simple push-fit job that gets your unit back to working efficiently in minutes.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the appliance from the mains power.
- Gently prise the old switch from its housing.
- Securely connect the electrical terminals to the new switch.
- Test the light and fan function before resuming use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my door switch needs replacing?

A: Yes, this is a genuine Polar component, part number AS051, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation.
Q: Can I install this myself?
